  * Take ownership of customer enquiries and orders through to completion.

  * Produce accurate sales and operational reports covering sales, quotations, margins and backorders.

  * Maintain accurate customer, machine, pricing and parts information within ERP systems.

  * Support stock and replenishment reviews using sales history, demand and supplier lead times.

  * Assist with purchase-order and stock-adjustment proposals.

  * Monitor excess, slow-moving and obsolete stock and support agreed improvement actions.

Requirements/Previous Experience

  * Previous experience in parts sales, parts advising, sales support, order processing or technical customer service.

  * Experience within construction equipment, agricultural machinery, material handling, automotive, commercial vehicles or another technical parts environment is highly desirable.

  * Strong ability to identify parts using machine details, catalogues, manuals or technical drawings.

  * Excellent customer service and communication skills, with confidence dealing with customers by telephone and email.

  * Good commercial awareness, including pricing, discounts, gross margin and customer requirements.

  * Strong attention to detail and a highly organised approach to order processing.

  * Good Microsoft Excel and general IT skills, with the ability to work confidently with detailed sales and inventory information.

  * Experience with construction or heavy machinery parts, including excavators, wheel loaders or similar equipment, would be advantageous.
