Timken plays a key role in keeping global industry in motion—helping customers improve reliability, uptime, and performance. With a strong premium position and a value-based sales approach, Timken is now strengthening its presence in the Nordic market with a Territory Sales Engineer.

The Role

As Territory Sales Engineer, you will play a key role in developing Timken’s position in the Nordic market. The role strengthens the existing team while supporting long-term continuity as the organization evolves.

The position combines technical sales, account management, and business development, with responsibility for a defined territory and a broad customer base including OEMs, distributors, and end users across multiple industries.

This is a field-based role requiring strong relationship building, technical understanding, and a structured, proactive sales approach. You will identify customer needs, influence decisions, and translate technical capabilities into business value.

You will collaborate closely with local and international colleagues as well as technical specialists, supported by engineering and service teams. The role involves regular travel across the Nordic region.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and develop existing customer relationships
• Identify and develop new business opportunities
• Maintain a high level of customer activity and visits
• Build, manage, and convert a strong sales pipeline
• Drive the full sales process from initial contact to closing
• Understand customer needs and translate them into solutions
• Drive value-based and consultative sales
• Prepare quotations and manage pricing
• Collaborate with technical specialists
• Support customers with technical guidance
• Work with distributors and partners
• Monitor market and competitor activity
• Work in CRM to manage pipeline and forecasting

The role is flexible in location within the Nordics, with preference for candidates based in Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg, or Norway, ideally near a major airport.

Is this you?

You are a commercially driven sales professional with a strong technical foundation and experience from industrial environments. You have a proven ability to develop business across OEMs, distributors, and end users.

You are used to working towards targets, managing pipelines, and driving sales processes from start to finish. A structured approach to CRM and sales processes is natural to you.

A formal engineering degree is not required; however, candidates with a technical education are typically expected to have 3–5 years of experience. Without such education, a longer track record is preferred, generally 7–10 years of relevant technical sales experience.

You take ownership of your territory, balance long-term relationship building with new business development, and navigate both short and long sales cycles.

You combine strong commercial drive with technical curiosity and are comfortable in both business and technical discussions. Experience from bearings, power transmission, or similar sectors is an advantage.

Fluency in English and at least one Nordic language is required, along with willingness to travel.

Why Timken?

Timken offers the opportunity to join a financially strong and respected global company in a growth phase in the Nordics.

You will work with high-performance products positioned on measurable value, enabling you to challenge existing solutions and create impact for customers. The broad product portfolio supports long-term customer development and solution selling.

You will be part of an experienced and collaborative team with strong technical support and international exposure, offering good long-term development opportunities.
