Job description

Technical Sales Executive

Cheltenham, Office-Based

£30,000 - £37,000 + Training & Development + 25 Days Holiday (+ Bank Holidays) + Great Benefits

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically minded, commercially aware individual to join a well-established and growing interiors business, offering strong training, clear progression opportunities, and a supportive culture focused on delivering outstanding service.

This established organisation has over a decade of experience supplying ceiling tile solutions across the UK. Renowned for its customer-first approach and technical expertise, it supports everything from small product orders to large, complex suspended‑ceiling and partitioning projects. Due to continued growth, the business is now seeking a Technical Sales Executive to strengthen the team and meet rising customer demand.

This is not a business development or cold‑calling role. Instead, you will manage high‑quality inbound enquiries, interpret drawings and specifications, prepare accurate quotations, and deliver clear, practical technical guidance to customers. You will be part of a close‑knit & sociable team where you will have a fast‑paced and enjoyable working week.

This role is well‑suited to someone from a trade background looking to move off the tools, an individual with builders' merchant experience, or a sales professional seeking a new challenge. It requires a logical, solutions‑focused mindset and confidence in supporting a wide range of customers. The ideal candidate will be outgoing and enjoy working in a lively, sociable team environment.

This is an exciting chance for a highly motivated individual to join a trusted, forward‑thinking business with a strong team culture and excellent long‑term prospects.

The Role

• Manage inbound customer enquiries, providing friendly advice, technical support, and accurate quotations.
• Review drawings and specifications to prepare material take‑offs, source pricing, and confirm product availability.
• Recommend suitable systems and value‑engineered alternatives to improve cost, efficiency, or lead times.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure smooth project handovers and contribute feedback to enhance processes and service quality.

The Person

• Experience in construction, interiors, or a related field.
• Excellent numerical skills, confident using Excel and other tools for accurate quotations.
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills, able to work effectively with customers, builders, and trade professionals.
• Proactive, reliable, and team‑focused, with a positive attitude and confidence negotiating with suppliers.
• Commutable distance from Cheltenham.
