• Technical Support & Training – Deliver regular training sessions to ensure correct product installation and usage on-site.
• CRM & Project Reporting – Maintain accurate records of all contact, calls, pipeline activity and wins using the CRM.
• Project Ownership – Support from concept through to completion, working closely with internal spec teams to convert leads into secured orders.
• Market Awareness – Keep an eye on competitor activity and contribute insight for marketing and sales development.

The Ideal Candidate

• Confident engaging with contractors, installers, and trade counter teams.
• Strong understanding of project sales cycles and contractor buying behaviour.
• Excellent relationship-building skills with the ability to train, influence and add value on-site.
