Specification Manager

THE ROLE

As a Specification Manager covering Scotland and some of the North of England, you will be in front of Architects, Local Authorities, and End Users within commercial, health, and education spaces specifying an amazing range of washroom solutions such as cubicles, lockers & benches, and sinks. This is a new project-based position where you will be tasked with winning specs, writing them up, and teeing up the Inside Sales Team to see them through to completion with the Contractors & End Users. You will be buddied up with a very experienced Contractor Sales Manager who has an excellent conversion rate to ensure you're lead generation is being taken care of at the back end. 50% of your time will be on brand new build projects and the rest is retrofit and refurb. The Specification Manager will have access to Glenigans to produce leads and will be conducting CPD seminars both virtually & in person. This role is home-based and the majority of meetings and events will be conducted via video, however there is a requirement to be in face to face environments at least 15 times a month. You will therefore be on the road around 1-2 days per week.
