This is a varied role where you’ll manage customer enquiries from initial contact through to quotation and order, build relationships with existing customers and work closely with internal teams to ensure customers receive an excellent level of service.

It would suit someone currently working for an engineering manufacturer, distributor or technical product supplier who is looking for a long-term opportunity with progression and the chance to develop their commercial experience.

The Role

• Handling incoming customer enquiries by phone and email
• Preparing and issuing quotations
• Proactively following up outstanding quotations and opportunities
• Processing customer orders accurately and efficiently
• Managing customer requirements from initial enquiry through to order
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with existing customers
• Identifying opportunities to develop accounts and increase business
• Providing product and technical information to customers
• Liaising with internal departments on technical and commercial enquiries

About You

We’re keen to speak with candidates with experience in internal sales, sales administration, sales support, quotations, estimating, order processing, technical sales support or customer account management.

You could currently be working for either an engineering manufacturer or engineering/industrial distributor.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience dealing directly with customers within a commercial environment
• Experience preparing quotations and/or processing orders
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Good organisational and problem-solving abilities
• Confidence managing your own workload and priorities
• Good Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook skills
• A proactive and commercially minded approach

Experience using CRM or ERP systems would be advantageous.

Package & Benefits

• Highly Competitive Salary
• Potential to earn up to 10% discretionary bonus
• 25 days holiday
• Hybrid working once fully trained
• Early finish every Friday
• 37.75-hour working week
• Long-term opportunity within an established engineering business

Hybrid Working

The role will initially be fully office-based during training, which is expected to take approximately 3–6 months depending on the individual.

Once fully trained and signed off, the position will move to a hybrid arrangement with a minimum of two days per week in the office.

Relevant Experience

Previous experience within an engineering or industrial environment would be particularly beneficial. This could include working with mechanical or engineered components, pumps, valves, flow control, bearings, seals, gaskets or other associated technical products, either for a manufacturer or distributor.

Direct product experience isn't essential, and candidates from other technical or industrial sectors with strong internal sales experience are encouraged to apply.
