Help build our new trading team in Heerhugowaard
Do you enjoy helping customers quickly, looking into technical questions and thinking along commercially? At Special Gas Systems (SGS) in Heerhugowaard you work with a specialist range of more than 10,000 products and get the chance to help build our new trading team from the start.
Within SGS we supply components for gas installations to customers in a wide range of technical sectors. You can see us as the specialist building supply store for these industries: customers come to us for, among other things, fittings, pipes, valves and pressure regulators. We are the exclusive distributor in the Benelux of the high-quality products of DK-LOK and TESCOM.
Your role
As a Commercial Technical Office Employee you are an important point of contact for our customers. You listen to their question, think along about the right technical solution and make sure they quickly receive a suitable quote.
Speed is important here. Our customers often work on projects where they cannot wait two days for an answer. You keep track of things, communicate smoothly with colleagues and suppliers, and make sure requests are handled both carefully and promptly.
Your work is varied. One time you advise a customer on the right fitting or dimensions, another time you prepare a quote, check product availability or coordinate a delivery. You do not need to know everything about our products at the start. However, we think it is important that you are technically curious and enjoy deepening your knowledge of our range.
What will you do?
-
You advise customers on components and solutions for gas installations.
-
You answer commercial and technical-content questions.
-
You prepare quotes and actively follow them up.
-
You process requests and orders in SAP.
-
You check prices, dimensions, availability and lead times.
-
You maintain contact with customers, suppliers and colleagues.
-
You identify commercial opportunities and think along about our services.
-
You help build and professionalise the new trading team further.
-
You contribute to the further collaboration between the trading teams of SGS, Demaco and OPW.
In your daily work you use, among other things, SAP, Outlook and SharePoint.
A new team with plenty of growth opportunities
Since 2024, SGS has been part of OPW Clean Energy Solutions. As a result, we are working more and more closely with our sister companies, including Demaco in Noord-Scharwoude, just five minutes' drive from our location.
In the coming period we want to connect knowledge, customers, products and commercial opportunities more and more. For you, this means that you do not simply join an existing commercial role. You also get the opportunity to help think about how we can further develop our collaboration, processes and market approach.
What do you bring?
-
You have mbo+/hbo working and thinking level.
-
You have commercial interest and an affinity with technology.
-
Preferably experience in a commercial, technical or customer-oriented role. (Hbo graduates starting their career with technical insight and commercial interest are also very welcome to apply.)

-
You work accurately and at the same time understand that customers want to be helped quickly.
-
You communicate easily with various customers, suppliers and colleagues.
-
You have a commercial mindset and see opportunities.
-
Experience with SAP or another ERP system is a plus, but not a requirement.
Knowledge of fittings, pipes, valves, pressure regulators or gas installations is an advantage. Do you not have that knowledge yet, but you are technically curious and learn quickly? We would also be glad to get to know you.
What do we offer you?
-
A salary between € 3,400 and € 4,600 gross per month based on 40 hours, depending on your knowledge and experience.
