Experience within construction, engineering, building services, facilities management, manufacturing or another project or service based environment could transfer particularly well. Alternatively, you might be a graduate with a strong numerical or analytical background who is confident with Excel and looking for an opportunity to learn. You do not need previous management experience and you do not need to know everything from day one. What matters most is that you are: • Comfortable working with numbers and spreadsheets • Confident using Excel and technology • Commercially minded and naturally analytical • Organised with good attention to detail • Comfortable speaking with clients and colleagues • Able to understand information and turn it into a clear, accurate quote • Keen to learn and take on more responsibility over time What's on offer? • Newly created position with genuine scope to develop • Training and support • Company pool car for site visits • Broader commercial and operational exposure • Opportunity to build a long term career within a growing Salisbury business The company is looking to appoint relatively quickly, so candidates who are immediately available or on a shorter notice period are particularly welcome.
