• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of relevant products, certification standards, and market regulations.
• Build strong relationships with clients, ensuring technical accuracy and commercial awareness.

What We're Looking For

• Background in a technical or engineering discipline, such as fire safety, acoustics, or structural engineering.
• Experience in technical specification, project management, or customer-facing roles in the construction industry.
• Ideally worked with or for dry lining, plastering, door manufacturers, or subcontractors.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills—able to translate complex technical issues into practical solutions.
• Familiarity with certification processes, testing bodies, and product standards.
• Previous experience in or understanding of specification sales is highly desirable.
