The Position
As a buyer and sales representative, you’ll prepare quotes and process orders for landscaping plans from gardeners, landscaping contractors, and government agencies. You’ll communicate with your customers and growers by phone or email.
Did your quote turn into an order? Great! Then you’ll get to work and purchase the trees and plants from growers, making sure the quality of the trees and plants is just as important to you as it is to the landscaper, who’s eager to start planting next week. That’s how you help create the most beautiful gardens in the Netherlands. Who knows—maybe the landscaper will even send you a photo of his project under construction!
At our office, you won’t be working alone. You’ll collaborate with sales professionals who are experts in plants, with whom you can consult and brainstorm. In the summer, you’ll have time to view trees and plants at nurseries or meet with your own clients.
We love to showcase our work at trade shows. There, you’ll also meet growers, landscapers, architects, buyers, and estimators. This helps you quickly get to know your target audience, keeps your work varied, and keeps you up to date on supply, demand, and trends.
Job Profile

Customer-focused and commercially minded.
Demonstrable work experience in the landscaping industry is essential for this position. You’ll serve as the primary point of contact for clients such as large landscaping firms, gardening companies, or nurseries.
You have a good knowledge of the trees and plants found in Dutch gardens and public parks.
You are familiar with the seasonal peaks in the spring and fall.
You work with precision and are proficient in ERP software and Microsoft 365 Apps.
