Account Manager – Professional Painting & Equipment

• Belgium
• Field-based (4 days)

Are you a commercially driven Account Manager who enjoys being out in the field, building relationships and demonstrating products rather than spending your days behind a desk?

For an international market leader in professional fluid handling and application equipment, I’m looking for an Account Manager for Belgium.

You will develop the market by working closely with professional painters, construction professionals, distributors and specialist paint stores.

This is a highly autonomous and hands-on commercial role combining sales, demonstrations, training, relationship management and territory development.

Your role

As Account Manager, you will be responsible for growing sales and market presence across your territory in Belgium.

You will spend much of your time visiting customers and distribution partners, demonstrating professional equipment, training users and helping customers understand how the right solutions can improve productivity, finish quality and efficiency on the job.

Rather than simply selling from a catalogue, you will work closely with customers in real-life applications and become a trusted product and commercial advisor.

What will you be doing?

• Develop and grow a profitable customer base across your assigned territory.
• Build strong relationships with professional painters, construction professionals, distributors and specialist paint stores.
• Identify new business opportunities and convert potential customers into long-term users.
• Demonstrate professional painting and application equipment directly to end users.
• Organise and support product demonstrations, customer events, trade shows and distributor activities.
• Train distributor and store teams on product applications, operation and basic troubleshooting.
• Help distribution partners improve product visibility, positioning and sales performance.
• Introduce customers to new products, technologies and applications.
• Monitor market developments, competitor activity and customer needs within your region.
• Provide regular commercial feedback and territory updates to management.
• Manage your territory independently while working closely with colleagues and distribution partners.

The product portfolio

You will represent a strong portfolio of professional equipment used in painting, finishing and construction applications, including:

• Professional airless paint spraying equipment
• Interior and exterior painting solutions
• Texture spraying equipment
• Line-marking equipment
• Roofing application equipment
• High-pressure cleaning equipment

What am I looking for?

I’m looking for someone who combines commercial drive with a practical, hands-on mindset.

You may already be working in field sales, account management, construction, professional tools, technical equipment, building materials, coatings or a related B2B environment.

Most importantly, you enjoy meeting customers, developing a territory and working directly with products.

You bring:

• Experience in a commercial field-based role with responsibility for customers and sales growth. (3 - 7 years)
• A technical and/or commercial degree, or equivalent experience.
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to identify opportunities and build lasting customer relationships.
• A practical approach and willingness to demonstrate equipment and work with painting/application materials.
• Confidence presenting and training customers and distributor teams.
• The ability to work independently and organise your own territory effectively.
• Good general computer skills.
• Experience within construction, building materials, professional equipment or distribution is an advantage.

Languages

For this position, you have:

• Native-level Dutch
• Good professional English
• Good professional French

Mobility

This is a field-based position with a high level of travel throughout Belgium, with occasional travel outside the country. Depending on your location, you will work from a home office when you are not visiting customers.

What can you expect?

You will join an established international organisation with a strong reputation for quality, innovation and professional equipment. The company offers a high degree of autonomy and gives employees the opportunity to develop their own career path within an international environment.

You can expect:

• Gross Salary / month - depending on experience: €3.500 - €4.800
• Performance-related incentive

• Group insurance and additional benefits
• Home-office flexibility
• Extensive product training and support
