4 months ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Acheson + Glover Full time

Since our establishment more than 60 years ago as Acheson & Glover Limited, we have sought to provide opportunities for our team to build careers - rather than just hold down a job.

We are now recruiting for an **Experienced Specification Consultant (GB, North West England)** to join our growing team.

**OBJECTIVE OF ROLE**

Due to continued growth, AG are seeking to recruit an experienced Specification Consultant for the North West region. The main purpose of the role is to meet with key customer groups such as Architects, Landscape Architects, Engineers and Local Authorities to develop their knowledge and awareness of AG products and solutions and securing AG product specifications. This can be achieved through one to one meetings or presentations to a group of specifiers.

**COMPANY VALUES AND CULTURE**:
At AG, we are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture that reflects our core values of integrity, sustainability, customer care, wellbeing, and innovation. Our mission is to be the preferred supplier of innovative hard landscaping and building products which create a sustainable built environment. We believe in continuous improvement and encourage our employees to take initiative and drive positive change. Our work environment is built on mutual respect, support, and the shared goal of delivering superior quality products.
