The Internal Sales Administration Apprentice will:

Be a key part of the company, learning a wide range of engineering skills across milling and turning.

Ensuring sales orders are processed accurately – just this one point requires an understanding of our processes, systems, procedures, learning about the various materials we work with and having good relationships with estimating, production and order processing. There is a lot to learn on this role.

Customer service - speaking to existing customers, understanding what needs to be escalated and what can be dealt with by the apprentice.

  • In a role where 2 days are never the same – the sales office is a busy environment, there is plenty to do so you won’t be bored!
  • It’s not all work – our Xmas and Summer parties are a real opportunity to kick back and get to know people who you don’t normally work with. Or perhaps you fancy your chances in our 5-aside football team. Join our wellbeing working group and you can help to implement positive initiatives throughout the company!
