Job description

Sales Support Administrator – Kettering

Develop Your Commercial Career with a Market-Leading Manufacturer**

We're partnering with a well-established and innovative business within the construction manufacturing sector to recruit a Sales Support Administrator for their expanding commercial team in Kettering.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious individual with strong organisational skills and a commercial mindset. Whether you're a recent graduate with drive, or already working in administration, sales support, or customer service, this role offers genuine scope to grow within a business that values initiative and potential.

The Role

Working closely with the sales and estimating teams, you'll play a key part in ensuring customers receive a professional and efficient service. Responsibilities include:

• Coordinating and preparing accurate quotation requests
• Producing polished proposal packs with visuals and product detail
• Managing sample and literature requests
• Processing customer orders and supporting the full order journey
• Maintaining organised electronic files and documentation
• Communicating confidently with colleagues, clients, and suppliers

You’ll become an integral part of the sales process — supporting key decision‑making, enabling the team to perform at its best, and developing a strong understanding of the company's products and commercial activity.

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

• Analytical, organised, and able to manage multiple tasks with accuracy
• Confident communicating professionally, both in writing and over the phone
• Adaptable, proactive, and motivated to build their commercial skill set
• Competent across Microsoft Word and Excel
• Keen to build a long‑term career within a respected, forward‑thinking business

A degree (business, construction, engineering, design, or similar) or relevant industry experience would be advantageous, but not essential — the right attitude is paramount.

What’s on Offer?

• Salary: Up to £26,000, depending on experience
• Hours: Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm
• Annual Leave: 22 days + bank holidays
  • An additional day off during your birthday month
  • Option to purchase an extra week of leave
• Supportive team environment with strong training
• Long‑term career development within a stable, reputable organisation

If you’re commercially minded, detail‑driven and looking to build a rewarding career within a high‑performing team, we’d love to hear from you.
