Subject: Application for Business Developer

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is with great enthusiasm that I am responding to the vacancy for a Business Developer at Zero Emission Services (ZES). The mission of ZES—achieving clean and emission-free inland shipping—appeals to me enormously. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to the energy transition by actively assisting in the expansion of the charging station network. With my experience in business development and project management, my knowledge of stakeholders, and my technical background, I am confident that I would be a valuable addition to the ZES team.

As a Business Developer at ZES, I would be responsible for the realisation of one or more charging stations. This means involvement in the entire process, from identifying a location through to the implementation of the station. My duties would include building and maintaining sustainable relationships with relevant parties, mapping out suitable locations, and preparing for the actual construction of the charging stations. Additionally, I would be responsible for coordinating permit applications and negotiating and closing contracts with the parties involved.

What specifically attracts me to this position is the opportunity to contribute to the further development of ZES. The fact that the first battery-electric vessel in the Netherlands, the Alphenaar, is already operational and that the first ZES charging station has been realised in Alphen aan den Rijn, demonstrates the company's progress and growth. I find it inspiring to be part of a mission-driven team dedicated to a sustainable future for inland shipping. A personal example that highlights the key qualities I possess is my involvement in the development of a sustainable energy project in my previous role. I was responsible for identifying suitable locations, negotiating with stakeholders, and overseeing the entire development process. My determination, problem-solving skills, and can-do mentality ensured the successful completion of the project and resulted in positive feedback from all parties involved.

With my experience, knowledge, and enthusiasm, I am convinced that I can make a valuable contribution to ZES and the further expansion of the charging station network. I am a self-starter with strong communication skills and the ability to build and maintain effective relationships with diverse stakeholders. Furthermore, I am flexible and adapt well to change. I am therefore very keen on the opportunity to contribute to the energy transition and the growth of ZES.

Kind regards,

[Your name]
