This is a varied technical and commercial role for someone who enjoys getting underneath a customer requirement, developing the right engineering solution and turning that solution into an accurate, persuasive proposal. Supplying specialist products, technologies and installation services into the wastewater, Energy from Waste, municipal waste and industrial sectors in the UK and internationally, this company already has a wide client base and solid track record. This is considerably broader than simply producing prices from a specification.

This role sits at the point where engineering, customer need and commercial decision-making meet. You will have the opportunity to work across different technologies and applications rather than repeatedly estimating one narrow product, with direct exposure to customers, engineering specialists and live commercial opportunities. For an engineer who wants to retain a strong technical element while developing greater customer and commercial responsibility, it offers an interesting next step. The role is hybrid or home based, although regular attendance at the offices in Kent will be required in the early days of the role. #J-18808-Ljbffr
