About the Company
We are an established company specialising in the installation and implementation of fire detection and protection systems for industrial and commercial clients.

The Role
The Sales Manager will take responsibility for developing new business and managing customer relationships in Brussels and South Brussels.

* Maintain up-to-date knowledge of fire detection technologies, standards, and market trends.
Background & Experience
* 5–10 years of relevant experience in technical sales, preferably within fire detection, building automation, or electrical safety systems.
* Background as a technician or engineer who evolved into sales is a plus — provided you bring strong commercial drive.

Skills & Qualities
* Strong hunting and business development mindset.
* Able to structure your work and manage multiple opportunities simultaneously.
* Technical affinity and curiosity about fire detection technologies.
