We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Junior Technical Sales Support Engineer to join our growing Lighting Controls team.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with an interest in electrical systems, lighting controls or smart buildings who is looking to develop a career within a growing business.
Initially, you'll work alongside our experienced Lighting Sales team, providing day-to-day support with customer enquiries, quotations, technical documentation and project administration. As your knowledge and confidence grow, you'll gradually become more involved in customer interactions and technical sales activities.
Full training will be provided, although some basic understanding of lighting controls, electrical systems or DALI technology would be beneficial.
