We're looking for a Sales Executive to join our business based in Corby and work closely with our Commercial Project Manager.

BASIC SALARY: £30,000

BENEFITS:
· 30 hour working week

LOCATION: Corby

COMMUTABLE LOCATIONS: Market Harborough, Rushden, Kettering, Thrapston, Wellingborough, Peterborough, Northampton, Leicester, Corby

JOB DESCRIPTION: Sales Executive, Sales Representative, Internal Sales - Rail, rolling stock

· Keep track of live opportunities, making sure deadlines aren't missed and ensuring our pipeline is accurate
· Ensure our CRM is maintained and updated.
· Prepare quotations, proposals and commercial documents
· Look after the SharePoint, keeping technical documents, photographs, manuals, drawings, maintenance records and specifications organised and easy to find

PERSON SPECIFICATION: Sales Executive, Sales Representative, Internal Sales - Rail, rolling stock

· Experience using SharePoint or a similar document management system
· Experience maintaining structured records or a CRM
· The ability to research information independently and accurately
· The confidence to assist with quotations, commercial comparisons and margin calculations
