• Good attention to detail when preparing proposals, tenders and commercial documentation.
• A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel to customer meetings and events when required.

Experience within a manufacturing, engineering or technical environment would be advantageous, although candidates from other sectors will also be considered.
