Sales Estimator

**Introduction**

TH Plastics was established in 2008 and has quickly become a market-leading ancillary machinery and solutions provider for the plastics manufacturing industry, with a portfolio of customers that includes some of the highest profile and technically demanding plastics businesses in the UK.

Our continued growth and success depend on the talent of our workforce to support the business in a diverse industry, which in turn gives our team a wealth of experience and variety in their roles.

We are looking to recruit a competent and friendly individual to join our expanding team as a Sales Estimator. You will be working in an office environment, as part of the office team.

As a Sales Estimator there will be many opportunities to gain experience across our sales and technical departments. At TH Plastics, you can use this opportunity to develop and become a valuable member of our team. This is the perfect opportunity for someone with an engineering background wanting to transition into technical sales.

You will be part of a growing business and friendly team in an office environment, so it is essential that you are well mannered and approachable. Excellent computer and mathematical skills are a big part of the role, as well as an engineering background to draw on for designing customer proposals. Written and spoken communication skills are very important along with attention to detail. The ability to read and interpret technical data and drawings will be essential in this role.

Most of your work will be within the office environment, however, there are going to be occasions when onsite presence is needed. This will further enhance your understanding of the solutions we provide, whilst giving you the chance to meet our customers face-to-face and understand some of the requirements for your main duties. It is therefore essential that you hold a current and clean UK driving licence.

Further opportunities for visits to trade shows in the UK and Europe are available to broaden your understanding of the industry, as well as training at with our partners in Italy and Sweden.
