Recycling and environmental technology sells shredders, sorting systems, balers, water and air treatment to waste management companies, municipalities and industry – a growth market driven by regulation and raw material prices.

Customers in recycling and environmental technology are waste management companies, recyclers, municipalities and industrial plants under regulatory pressure. Projects range from a single baler to complete sorting plants, often with public tenders and subsidies in the background. Sales people who understand material flows, throughput and operating costs are in short supply – and employers pay for that experience.

The roles advertised most often here are Technical Sales Engineer (5) and Sales Manager (3).

Technical sales engineers translate a customer's technical problem into a solution their company can deliver profitably – clarifying requirements, designing the offer, calculating and closing.

Few of these ads state a salary. Industrial employers often discuss pay in the first interview – our salary benchmarks show what to expect: Technical sales salaries in Germany – all roles compared.
