We welcome different backgrounds and skills that enrich our community and we promote a place where we can ALL be ourselves. This is what makes Konecranes a unique place to work.

Do you want to drive technical support, customer relations and service development in an international environment? As a Regional Product Support Manager, you will play a key role in ensuring customer satisfaction, developing regional business and leading technical support for our lift trucks.  

The role combines technical expertise, customer interaction and leadership, with a strong focus on building long-term relationships and driving growth. 

This is a European role, and the position can be based anywhere in Europe. Living close to a major airport is an advantage due to frequent travel within the region. 

Your main responsibilities 

Technical support & customer relations 

• Oversee and provide technical support and guidance to distributors and customers across the region 
• Establish and maintain relationship with distributors, existing and new customers to enhance customer satisfaction.

• Make authoritative decisions on regional service measures, actions, announcements, promotions, warranties/goodwill; in line with Lift Trucks policies. 

We are looking for someone with a solid technical background who enjoys combining problem-solving with close customer interaction. You are comfortable working independently in an international setting but are equally motivated by collaboration and contributing to shared development. With your social and service-oriented approach, you build long-term relationships and ensure high customer satisfaction. 

To succeed in this role, you should have: 

• Strong technical background with in-depth knowledge of hydraulic systems, electrical systems, engines, transmissions, software control systems, digitalisation, and mechanics. 
• Previous experience in material handling and/or heavy machinery is required. Experience specifically with lift trucks is an advantage. 
• Knowledge of hydraulics, electrical systems, engines, transmissions and digital systems. 
• Background in aftermarket, technical support or machinery service. 
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings. 
• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken. Additional languages are an advantage. 
• A structured and service-minded way of working, with the ability to drive initiatives forward. 
• Flexibility and willingness to travel frequently within Europe.
