ABOUT METEL

You have companies active in metal, and you have Metel. We are a unique player, an absolute specialist in special metals. From Titanium, Zirkonium, and the Nickel Alloys to Molybdenum, Wolfram, Tantal, and a range of other special metals. Our high-performance metals are used in the most demanding markets. They find their way to industries such as semiconductor, medical, petrochemical, and aerospace. Think of an application that matters, and there is a very good chance that a piece of special metal from Metel is involved.

JOB DESCRIPTION

You are the missing link that will help our fast-growing company grow even further. You will work in a beautiful and newly delivered building. You work directly with our small and decisive team, consisting of the director/owner, the manager, and 2 employees. With us, you won’t find hierarchical nonsense; sociability is highly valued here. Every day we build great successes together. You will receive the responsibility and all the space to develop yourself. Of course, we don’t expect you to know everything yet; we will teach you all the ins and outs, step by step. In no time, you will be able to call yourself a specialist in high-performance metals. We will celebrate that moment!

WHAT DOES A DAY AT METEL LOOK LIKE?

You start between 08:00 and 09:00, with a nice cup of freshly ground coffee (we love good coffee). There are requests from existing customers, but requests also come in via the website from existing and new customers. We discuss these requests so that you can forward them to the various factories we work with. After that, you prepare the quotation, which we initially go through together in detail. When it is completely correct, it can be sent and followed up.

We believe in a personal approach, so contacting the (potential) customer is encouraged. When the order is approved, everything must be ordered, confirmed, and scheduled. You ensure the correct delivery time and inform our customers about the progress. During the joint lunch, we can relax a bit and then be sharp again to pick up the work. You have a good idea of how we can improve our processes, and we like to hear that because there is always room for higher performance.

The phone rings, a customer emails with a question about the correct application of one of our metals. Together with the team, we formulate the answer. The account manager calls to say that a nice new order is coming in; together with him, you discuss the terms and enter the order. It’s Friday afternoon, a nice bottle is taken from the wine fridge. There is something to celebrate; your first week is over!
