  • Following up quotations and supporting the sales process where required.
  • Maintaining accurate records using the company's CRM and estimating systems.

  • A background within scaffolding, access solutions, construction, temporary works, powered access or a related industry.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail.
  • The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.
  • Confidence when visiting customer sites and discussing technical solutions.
  • A full UK driving licence.

  • The opportunity to join a well-established and growing business with an excellent reputation.
