To support the growth of our project business, we are looking for a Technical Support Engineer & Business Developer (Project Business Channel) who will act as a key technical reference for smart shading and building automation projects.
This role bridges technology, project execution, and business development, working closely with internal teams and external partners to deliver high-quality, integrated solutions.
How the role will develop: in the first year of the assignment, the primary focus will be on developing the project business: identifying and qualifying project opportunities, building relationships with investors, architects, general contractors, installers and system integrators, and driving early-stage specification of Somfy solutions. As the project pipeline grows, the role will progressively shift toward its core technical scope: specification, system design, commissioning, training and after-sales support. Technical credibility is the foundation of this role from day one; we are looking for a technically educated and capable engineer who can develop business, not a pure business development profile.
