• Production and revision of system designs, proposals and quotations;
• Planning and managing all stages of client projects;

The successful candidate will have personal qualities consistent with the company’s core values. The right person will be able to demonstrate their enthusiasm for providing exceptional service to our clients, through a fastidiousness that is part of their personality. They will be tidy and organised and will enjoy being part of a friendly and close-knit team.
