About the Role
For over 30 years, Beacon International has supplied specialist equipment, consumables, hire and servicing to customers throughout the asbestos removal industry.
We are now looking for a Sales Administrator to join our team in Thurrock.
This is much more than a traditional administration role. You will work closely with the Depot Manager and wider team, dealing directly with customers, processing orders and quotations, supporting sales activity and helping to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the depot.
We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people, is organised, communicates confidently with customers, and would like the opportunity to develop within a growing business.
For the right person, there will be opportunities to take on additional responsibility and progress into areas such as internal sales, account management or wider depot responsibilities.
What You'll Be Doing
- Taking and processing customer orders by telephone and email
- Dealing with customer enquiries in a friendly and professional manner
- Preparing quotations and following up customer enquiries
- Building strong relationships with existing customers
- Identifying opportunities to offer additional products and services
- Supporting the Depot Manager and wider sales team
- Liaising with suppliers and maintaining good supplier relationships
- Updating supplier pricing and product information
- Maintaining accurate customer, quotation and order records
- Providing general administrative support to the depot
- Helping ensure customers receive a high level of service from initial enquiry through to delivery
What We're Looking For
You do not need experience within the asbestos industry, as full product training will be provided.
We are more interested in finding someone who is:
- Confident and professional when speaking with customers
- Friendly and approachable
- Organised with excellent attention to detail
- Computer literate and comfortable learning new systems
- Self-motivated and able to manage their own workload
- Able to work effectively as part of a team
- Commercially minded with an interest in sales
- Willing to learn and develop
- Comfortable working in a busy environment
Previous experience in sales administration, internal sales, customer service, trade counter sales or a similar commercial role would be an advantage.
What We Offer
- From £27,500 annual salary
- Monday to Friday working – no weekends
- 8:00am–5:00pm working hours
- 1-hour lunch break
- 28 days holiday including Bank Holidays
- Full product and systems training
- The opportunity to learn about different areas of the business
- A varied role within an established company
- Genuine opportunities for career progression
About You
We are particularly interested in someone who wants more than simply an administration job.
You will enjoy speaking to customers, solving problems and being part of a busy team. You will take pride in providing good customer service and be interested in developing your commercial and sales skills.
If you are reliable, organised, confident with customers and looking for a role where you can develop and progress, we would like to hear from you.
