Leander Architectural is a long-established UK manufacturer of bespoke plaques, signage, architectural metalwork, castings, and heritage products supplied throughout the UK.
Due to continued growth, we are looking for a motivated and organised individual to join our team as a Plaques & Signage Design Sales Estimator.
This is a varied role combining customer communication, quotation preparation, design, and project coordination. It would suit someone who enjoys working with people, has excellent written English, and takes pride in producing accurate, high-quality work.
No two days are the same. One day you could be helping a local authority develop a wayfinding scheme, the next you could be preparing artwork for a commemorative plaque or supporting a major architectural project.
The Role
You will be responsible for helping customers turn ideas into finished products, supporting projects from initial enquiry through to production.
Typical duties include:
- Responding to customer enquiries by phone and email
- Preparing quotations and estimates (training provided)
- Producing artwork and approval drawings using CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, or similar software
- Checking wording, spelling, grammar, and layout of plaques and signage
- Managing customer communications and project updates
- Following up quotations and supporting conversion of enquiries into orders
- Maintaining records and opportunities within our HubSpot CRM system
- Supporting handover of projects into production
- Working closely with colleagues in design, manufacturing, and installation
What We're Looking For
We are more interested in attitude and aptitude than a specific background.
You may come from signage, print, graphics, publishing, administration, customer service, sales support, marketing, manufacturing, or a similar environment.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Strong grammar, spelling, and proofreading skills
- Excellent attention to detail
- Good organisational and communication skills
- A positive, practical, and proactive attitude
- Confidence using Microsoft Office applications
- The ability to manage several enquiries and projects simultaneously
Desirable Skills
The following would be advantageous but are not essential:
- Experience using CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, or similar software
- Experience preparing quotations or estimates
- Experience within signage, print, manufacturing, or construction
- Experience using CRM systems such as HubSpot
- Basic CAD knowledge
Full training will be provided.
