[Hiring] Mass Timber Field Engineer @Simpson Strong-Tie GmbH

Role Description

You don't just see timber. You see the future of construction. The construction industry is changing. Sustainable building solutions, innovative materials and more efficient construction methods are shaping the way we build tomorrow. You understand the potential of mass timber – and know how to turn that potential into business opportunities.

At Simpson Strong-Tie, we develop solutions that help make buildings safer, stronger and more sustainable. Our expertise in structural solutions, engineering and innovation enables us to support customers in tackling the challenges of modern construction.

To drive the next phase of growth in this exciting market, we are looking for a Mass Timber Field Engineer (m/f/d). In this role, you will play a key part in expanding our mass timber business across Europe, combining strategic business development, technical expertise and commercial drive. You will connect with key stakeholders across the construction value chain and turn opportunities into long-term business success.

Your key responsibilities:

• Drive business growth:
  • Execute our mass timber sales strategy and deliver revenue growth by developing new accounts, building a strong project pipeline and converting opportunities into business.
• Build strategic relationships:
  • Establish and develop long-term partnerships with architects, structural engineers, designers, developers, contractors, engineered wood product (EWP) suppliers and prefabrication companies.
• Develop market opportunities:
  • Identify target customers, key projects and emerging market trends to strengthen our position in the mass timber industry.
• Turn opportunities into projects:
  • Engage with stakeholders early in the project lifecycle and drive opportunities from initial contact and technical specification through to commercial conversion.
• Provide technical-commercial expertise:
  • Support customers through technical presentations, workshops and site visits, demonstrating the value of our solutions, including their technical and sustainability benefits.
• Be a trusted customer partner:
  • Advise customers on product specifications, certifications and compliance requirements, working closely with our technical experts.
• Shape our business development strategy:
  • Identify market needs and gaps in our product and service portfolio and translate customer feedback into actionable business opportunities.
• Work across borders:
  • Collaborate with regional sales teams and European colleagues to develop opportunities and support international mass timber projects.
• Own your business performance:
  • Manage your sales pipeline, forecasts and KPIs, maintain customer and opportunity data in Salesforce and regularly report on business performance and growth opportunities.

Your primary sales responsibility will cover Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH). At the same time, you will contribute to the development of our mass timber business across the European regions defined in our strategy, supporting international projects where relevant stakeholders are based in DACH.

In short: You combine technical understanding, commercial thinking and a passion for developing new markets.
