What is your assignment?

Following on from some successful trials and deployments around the UK, Dual Inventive is now looking to accelerate its growth within the UK by further establishing its practices, products and services around the country.

We are looking for someone to enhance the visibility of Dual Inventive within the UK rail sector in order to expand its existing customer base by encouraging new customers to look at the benefits our unique products can provide.

However, a part of your working week will consist of visiting potential new clients and our national accounts. You will report to the Board, based in the Netherlands.

What will you bring to the table?

Ideally, you will be commercially driven, with some experience within technical sales and have an extensive network of contacts to assist in our development plans. A basic understanding of telecommunications will also be an advantage.

• Ability to generate business growth by building relationships and developing leads
• Strong communicator, persuasive, team player
• Commericially driven
• Experience with business development and European tenders (making business cases, forecasts)
• Affinity with technology
• Experience with working in an international sales environment dealing with different cultures
• Excellent ability to manage time and priorities

What about the company?

Dual Inventive strongly believes in the further development and utilisation of the ‘railway system’ as a sustainable and attractive transportation modality in the future. Starting in the Netherlands in 2008 and active in the UK since 2013, Dual Inventive designs, manufactures and sells high tech equipment for the rail market. Focussing on both safety and efficiency, our solutions aim to increase the amount of time workers are able to spend on track whilst simultaneously improving safety, efficiency, capacity and reducing costs.

The products are a derivation of innovative, high-quality trends and developments, always based on customer needs. This is why Dual Inventive created an online platform (MTinfo 3000 Cloud) in which the physical products and data regarding the status quo of the railway system are connected. This ‘New Way of Working’ enables users, such as contractors, train operating companies, commuters and infrastructure managers, to constantly obtain up to date information, leading to a more efficient railway system.

What will you get in return?

• Open culture, flat organisation
• A great amount of autonomy
• An organization with clear ambitions and goals, an explicit mission and innovation as a standard
