  • Leading product introductions: You support our project management team in launching new products in India and ensure that customer, production and supplier requirements come together seamlessly.
  • Supporting serial production: As an interface between customer, HOERBIGER production plants and local suppliers, you ensure a smooth transition from project phase to serial production.
  • Being on site where it matters: You support HOERBIGER colleagues during customer or supplier visits and represent our values with professionalism and passion.

What you should be good at

 

  • Technical foundation: You bring a solid engineering or technical background, ideally in mechanical or automotive engineering.
  • Experience in Sales and Teamwork: You are confident in presenting complex topics in a clear and convincing way. You know how to communicate in cross‑functional teams.
  • Communication strength: You build trust, navigate confidently in intercultural settings, and communicate clearly with all stakeholders.
  • Hands‑on approach: You thrive in dynamic environments, take initiative and find pragmatic solutions.
  • Language skills: Strong English skills; knowledge of local Indian languages is an advantage.
  • Proficiency in MS Office tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word).

What you can look forward to

 

  • Real impact: Your work directly shapes HOERBIGER’s market presence in India and contributes to the success and future of Division Automotive.
