We are recruiting for an Internal Sales Administrator to join a well-established business located in Welwyn Garden City.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied role and wants to develop their commercial and technical knowledge. You will work closely with the Company Director, supporting with quotations, pricing, customer follow ups, purchasing and general sales administration.
Full training will be provided. What is important is that you are confident, commercially minded, organised and comfortable communicating with customers.
The Role
A key part of your role will be supporting the preparation and management of customer quotations.
As your knowledge develops, you will become involved in more detailed quotations, reviewing customer requirements and helping to establish the equipment and work required.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Monitoring orders and liaising with suppliers regarding deliveries
• Occasionally attending customer sites to gain a better understanding of requirements and the products and systems used
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who is naturally proactive and enjoys taking ownership rather than waiting to be given their next task.

You will need:
• Strong administration and organisational skills
• Confidence speaking with customers over the telephone
• Excellent attention to detail
