Job Context
This role is a responsible post in the sales Operations team because it is critical to our timely fulfilment of orders. In the first instance, it's an assistant function to the Purchasing and Planning departments, completing all admin and other support tasks. However, there is the opportunity for development if the candidate proves able. The role is available because Nicholson is growing, and we need more capacity in this area.
Nicholson STS Ltd is an innovative and fast-growing company which designs, manufactures and supplies specialist roofing systems. We supply Tier 1 construction companies, roofing contractors and the solar industry with unique products to help solve specific challenges in the industry, such as waterproofing riser penetrations, and fixing to the structure in a 100% waterproof way. We aim to be involved in sales projects at the earliest opportunity, so target specifiers and architects. The company was started by two brothers, Paul Boyt and Alan Boyt in 2000. Before this, they were roofing contractors, but quickly realised that there were not the products on the market to solve challenges they were facing, so they began to design and manufacture products. These became the basis of the Nicholson product range, and we’re still innovating today. We are proud of our staff retention, so only serious applications please!
