- Are you looking to offer best in class customer service and sales coordination?
- Do you enjoy getting into the technical detail of how a product is actually made, not just how it's sold?
If you've answered yes to both, this could be a brilliant opportunity for you. A role for an organised, detail-focused Technical Sales Administrator to join a small, close-knit team at the heart of the sales and production process, converting customer orders into accurate, production-ready information for the factory, while keeping customers and suppliers informed every step of the way.
Your Role as a Technical Sales Administrator:
- Processing customer orders end-to-end, from initial enquiry through to dispatch, ensuring accuracy at every stage.
- Converting order details into materials, sizes and components, and generating the production documentation (bills of materials) the factory team relies on to manufacture each order correctly.
- Call handling and sales order processing, providing an excellent level of service to customers and addressing any concerns promptly.
- Communicating lead times and order progress clearly to customers and internal colleagues.
- Liaising with hauliers and suppliers to keep orders, deliveries and collections running smoothly.
- Supporting stock control, including monitoring stock levels and helping to manage timely replenishment.
- Maintaining accurate price lists, purchase orders and invoices.
- Keeping the sales order system and records accurate, organised and up to date.
- Working pattern: Monday to Thursday 8am - 4:30pm, Friday 8am - 3:30pm.
Ideal background for the Technical Sales Administrator:
- Previous experience in a sales administration role, ideally within a technical, mechanical, fabrication or manufacturing environment (essential).
- Comfortable working with measurements, quantities and material calculations - thinking in materials, cut lengths, components or bills of materials rather than just quantities on a screen.
- Experience generating technical or production documentation, such as bills of materials, cutting lists or works orders, is a strong advantage.
- Excellent working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Word, Excel and Outlook.
- Experience with a sales ordering or ERP system.
- Able to prioritise day-to-day tasks and manage your own workload with minimum supervision, while collaborating well within a small, close-knit team.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, confident liaising with customers and suppliers.
- Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to multi-task.
- Commercially astute with a friendly, non-starchy customer service focus.
- Must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship.

- This well-respected manufacturer of construction products works with a wide portfolio of clients across the construction, automotive and furniture industries.

- Having a truly international footprint, they are looking to strengthen a small, close-knit in-house team based at their Heathrow office.
