About the Opportunity
SFR Recruitment Solutions is delighted to be supporting a growing and highly respected business within the fire door and timber door sector.
Due to continued expansion, our client is seeking a technically minded Sales Executive – Prehung Door Sets to join their specialist team. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who enjoys combining technical expertise with commercial sales, customer relationship management, and project coordination.
The successful candidate will become the primary point of contact for an established customer portfolio, managing enquiries, quotations, specifications and live projects while identifying opportunities to maximise sales growth and customer value.
Working closely with builders’ merchants, architects, specifiers, contractors and end users, you will provide technical guidance and project support from enquiry through to manufacture and delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as the primary technical sales contact for an allocated customer portfolio.
- Develop and strengthen relationships with builders’ merchants, contractors, architects, specifiers and key accounts.
- Manage a high volume of enquiries, quotations and live projects.
- Produce accurate door set take-offs from schedules, specifications and architectural drawings.
- Prepare detailed quotations and offer technical product guidance.
- Identify opportunities to increase revenue within existing accounts.
- Support projects from enquiry through to manufacture and delivery.
- Work collaboratively with Estimating, Operations, Production and Customer Service teams.
- Maintain accurate CRM records and proactively follow up on opportunities.
- Keep up to date with industry standards, compliance requirements and product developments.
- Deliver outstanding customer service and represent the business professionally at all times.
Skills & Experience Required
- Previous experience within technical sales, account management, estimating or a customer-facing commercial role.
- Ability to interpret drawings, specifications and door schedules.
- Experience producing quotations and managing enquiries through to order placement.
- Strong commercial awareness and relationship-building skills.
- Proactive approach to account development and sales growth.
- Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail.
- Experience working with operational and production teams to deliver customer solutions.
Desirable Experience
- Door sets, timber doors, fire doors, composite doors or entrance door solutions.
- Architectural ironmongery, door hardware, access control or ancillary door products.
- Joinery, manufactured timber products or wider building products experience.
- Builders’ merchant, contractor, specification or project-led sales experience.
- Knowledge of the construction and building products sector.
- GAI qualification or willingness to work towards one.
Who Should Apply?
This opportunity could suit:
- Technical Sales Executives
- Internal Sales Professionals
- Estimators
- Project Coordinators
- Specification Sales Professionals
- Architectural Ironmongery Specialists
- Door Hardware Professionals
- Fire Door Specialists
- Joinery Product Sales Professionals
- Composite Door or Entrance Door Solution Specialists
If you have experience providing technical advice, preparing quotations, interpreting drawings or specifications, and building relationships within the construction products sector, we would encourage you to apply.
This should significantly widen the audience and prevent potentially strong candidates from self-selecting out because they don’t have direct pre-hung door set experience. It positions the role perfectly for people from ironmongery, joinery, composite doors, hardware, fire doors, access control and related building product backgrounds, which is exactly where you’ll likely uncover transferable talent.
Personal Attributes
- Technically minded and solutions-focused.
- Commercially aware with strong business development instincts.
- Confident and personable communicator.
- Organised and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
- Self-motivated, adaptable and proactive.
- Team player with a collaborative approach.
