Vertrieb & Kalkulation · Cologne · Vollzeit

Senior Sales Engineer (m/f/d)

Sustainability is a topic truly close to our hearts. We want to play an active role in shaping the construction and real estate industry of tomorrow. Through an interdisciplinary task force, we advise the construction and development companies within the List Gruppe or work directly on behalf of our business partners to develop concepts for sustainable construction. We analyze, plan, and compare options; identify the right alternatives for the best solution; and support the implementation process all the way through to quality certification.

The List Gruppe includes several general contractors as well as development, consulting, and planning firms with a total of over 800 employees. As a full-service provider, we develop, plan, build, and revitalize real estate throughout Germany. All with a focus on offering the best possible properties. We place a high priority on sustainability and digitalization!

A hallmark of LIST is interacting with each other as equals—our hierarchies are flat, and there’s no such thing as “you” versus “us.” We encourage open, interdisciplinary exchange among colleagues, and we believe there are no stupid questions. We consistently receive top ratings in employer evaluations and have been recognized as a “TOP Company” by kununu for years.

Join the LIST team and help us design more sustainable real estate!

Your Responsibilities

Do you love making new connections and strategically expanding your network? Perfect—that’s exactly what makes the difference here. You’ll also be responsible for the following:

  • Independent client acquisition and development in the areas of consulting, planning, and certification—including establishing, maintaining, and strategically developing long-term client relationships and strategic partnerships with external project stakeholders
  • Advising building owners, project developers, investors, and property owners on sustainable, cost-effective, and certification-relevant solutions
  • Preparing and coordinating proposals—including complex scope-of-work descriptions and VgV procedures—in close coordination with specialized departments and cost estimation
  • Actively representing LIST Eco at trade shows, conferences, and industry events (e.g., Expo Real, Polis Convention), as well as representing LIST Eco in relevant networks and discussion forums (e.g., crenet, ROTONDA)
  • Contributing to the further development of our sales approach and the positioning of our service areas in the market

Your Profile

Communication comes naturally to you. You approach people with openness and feel just as comfortable interacting with decision-makers as you do with technical experts. What else sets you apart:

  • A degree in civil engineering, architecture, sustainable construction, industrial engineering, or a comparable qualification
  • At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in consulting, planning, and/or certification within the construction and real estate sectors, as well as a very good understanding of the technical, economic, and contractual aspects of our services across all project phases
  • Several years of experience in technical sales, business development, or project-based client consulting, as well as experience in preparing proposals—ideally including VgV procedures
  • A robust network of building owners, project developers, investors, planners, or property owners, as well as the confidence to interact at the decision-maker level
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, self-initiative, and a passion for market development, business acquisition, and networking, as well as a willingness to travel for client meetings, trade shows, and events

All you need is the freedom to take the reins, and you’ll land the contract? We love that attitude—it’s a perfect fit for this position.
