Business Line Service & Installation is one of the identified growth areas for NKT in the coming years. We see a strong potential and interest, offshore as well as onshore, in cable services and we are now looking for a Sales & Bid Manager to strengthen our Swedish sales team.

We provide a wide range of services for all types of cables, spanning both onshore and offshore projects.

This position offers an international context and some travelling must be expected. Proficiency in Swedish and English is required, as are strong written and spoken communication skills.
