About Our Client

Identify and convert new business opportunities, supporting major and complex construction projects from specification through to installation
Provide technical guidance on product selection, fire compliance, and system performance
Work closely with technical, marketing and customer service teams to shape the Ireland strategy as it develops
Represent the business at industry events, exhibitions and trade bodies across Ireland, establishing brand presence in the market

What You’ll Bring

Confident engaging with specifiers, architects, fire engineers and main contractors at a technical level
Track record of winning specification and managing the full sales cycle on technical, project-based work
