This is a career-development opportunity for someone with a Business, Commerce, Marketing, Management or related degree who wants to build a long-term career in sales and business development.

Working alongside our experienced sales and technical teams, you’ll develop practical commercial and technical knowledge while progressively taking greater ownership of customer enquiries, quotations and sales opportunities.

• Preparing professional quotations and proposals

• Booking customer meetings and site visits for the sales team
• Maintaining accurate customer and opportunity information in our CRM
• Learning from experienced salespeople through customer meetings, sales calls and occasional site visits
• Building your commercial, product and application knowledge through ongoing training and experience

The role combines inbound sales, proposal preparation, quote follow-up and proactive outbound business development.

• Has strong written and verbal communication skills
• Is commercially minded and interested in understanding how businesses operate
• Is organised, proactive and follows opportunities through
• Is curious and willing to learn technical products and applications
• Is comfortable using CRM, Microsoft 365 and other business systems
