Career story: Sven

Keep on learning

I first learned about Konecranes four years ago and I was impressed by the products and the cranes. Now I’m a sales engineer responsible for preventive maintenance sales in the Flemish part of Belgium and for all kinds of sales in the Walloon part. I prospect new customers, present new technologies, make offers and close deals. I’m also a contact person between Konecranes and our customers on all kinds of matters. Each day I see new things and new solutions. I truly enjoy working in the field. You can’t stop learning in this job.

Look no further

In the beginning it was quite fascinating to discover new types of cranes and lifting processes. Now I focus on how our cranes and hoists can be essential for our customers. By helping them find a perfect maintenance solution, I help them keep their cranes in good shape with minimum downtime. Communication is the key. The moment our customers can trust our people they will work more with us and won’t search for other suppliers. Trust is equally important within our own organization. I’m glad to say I can work independently with my own responsibilities.

Enjoy the spirit

We are increasingly specialized in what we do and I believe this is what will set us apart from our competitors. There are good opportunities. I just obtained a bigger territory and in the near future I’ll be busy exploring the possibilities offered by Wallonia. In the long term I wish to graduate from the Konecranes Academy and take on more demanding tasks. I‘m looking forward to enjoying the Konecranes spirit also in the future.
