- Quoting & Estimating: Preparing accurate and detailed quotes, calculating material requirements and ensuring attention to detail throughout the quoting process.
- Orders & Coordination: Processing customer orders, liaising with suppliers and coordinating with local measuring and installation teams.
- Administration: Managing customer information, enquiries, quotes, emails and multiple projects using computer systems.
- Showroom Presentation: Maintaining an attractive, organised and inspiring showroom, ensuring displays and product presentations are kept to a high standard.

- Strong computer literacy, including email, quoting systems, POS and general administration.
- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple customers, quotes and projects simultaneously.
- Strong communication skills, attention to detail and a professional presentation.
- Reliability, initiative and the ability to work independently as well as within a small team.
