Job description

Our client provides industrial machinery installation, removal, relocation and mechanical maintenance services to customers in a wide range of industries. Operating primarily in the Southeast but also working regularly throughout the rest of the UK (therefore, some overnight stays away will be required), they take pride in providing a first-class service for all their customers, whether for a single machine movement or full multi-disciplined project. Each job is different and has its own unique challenges, which keeps their work interesting and varied.

• Negotiate to successfully win quoted work, whilst minimising company risk.
• Liaise with Operations Manager and Site Foreman on the requirements for secured work and maintain a high-level overview to ensure the job progresses to plan and budget.
• Capture and agree any variations with the customer to keep budgets on track.

• Ability to maintain a professional attitude at all times, even under pressure.
