Commercial / Business Development Manager SlimDril B.V.

About SlimDril SlimDril is a leading provider of advanced drilling solutions within the HDD sector (Horizontal Directional Drilling). As a pioneer in trenchless technology, we support complex onshore and offshore projects in the energy and infrastructure sectors. As a sister company of Brownline, we combine deep technical expertise with a flexible, customer-oriented approach to successfully realize even the most challenging drilling scenarios. With a rapidly growing presence in Europe, our Dutch office plays a key role in the further expansion of our position in this specialized market.

What will you do? For this role, we are looking for a commercially driven Business Development Manager with technical knowledge of HDD, who will further drive our growth in the Netherlands and other European markets. This is not a standard sales position — you must understand the technical aspects, be able to pivot quickly, and have the confidence to make decisions at the right time that truly make an impact. You will operate at the intersection of technology and commerce and will be the primary point of contact for customers — both for planned projects and when rapid response is required. This brings responsibility: you are flexible, think in solutions, and are willing to step up when necessary. The role requires a high degree of commitment, including international travel and sometimes working outside regular office hours. Fortunately, you are not alone — you will work closely with the experienced team from SlimDril UK, who will support you where needed.

What do we offer you?

• A key role within a specialized, growing HDD company where your expertise truly makes a difference.
• Full support from the experienced SlimDril team in the UK, plus access to a broad international technical and commercial network.
• A competitive salary supplemented by performance-based bonuses.
• Significant autonomy and direct influence on the growth of SlimDril B.V.
• Excellent career advancement opportunities within a niche market that is technically challenging and future-proof.
• Technical background in HDD or trenchless technology.
• Demonstrable experience in business development or in a commercial role within a technical environment.
• Ability to combine technical content with strong commercial insight.
• Willingness to travel extensively and be away from home for longer periods.
• Ability to make quick and responsible decisions under pressure.
• A relevant network within the European HDD, energy, or infrastructure market.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Fluent English; knowledge of other European languages is a plus.
