Your new company

HAYS Architecture & Design NI are working in collaboration with the Brickwork division of an established Construction Group, in their search for a Specification Manager to help them drive growth across Northern Ireland. With the wider business having been in operation for over 10 years, they have built an enviable reputation for quality and delivery, with their relatively recently formed Brickwork division offering a unique and engaging opportunity for the right, experienced Sales professional. If you're looking for an opportunity within a flat-structured business, with reward on offer for performance - this could be the position you've been waiting for! With a largely field-based / remote role, it would best suit proven Specification / Account Managers who have previous experience working within the construction sector, and specifically with business to business outreach and engagement.

Your new role

As the company's Specification Manager within their Brickwork division, you will be responsible for promoting and specifying their new range of specialist brick products to a range of clients, including Architects, Construction Companies and Builders Merchants. Working in a largely field-based / remote setting, you'll manage your own diary around meeting clients, visiting sites or events, researching new sales opportunities / clients to approach, and pitching to potential customers. Ideally, you will have working knowledge of reading plans / drawings for construction projects, with the linked ability of knowing what products may suit these best / trying to gain buy-in to them specifying your units for their scheme. This can be taught, with upskilling / mentoring on the job available.

What you'll need to succeed

You'll be a proven Specification Manager for high-end construction products, or have a background within Construction Sales. Ideally you will have knowledge of Brick / Brickwork products, but as above this knowledge can be imparted / taught as part of the role. You will be a confident / polished professional, unafraid of pitching to clients / broadening customer based, and working in a targeted, sales-orientated environment. Again ideally, you will have some experience in interpreting / understanding CAD Drawings / Construction Drawings, with the ability to foresee opportunities to sell-in your products - but again this specific duty can be taught / upskilled. You should have a full-UK driving licence, and be capable of time-management / solo-working, as this will be a highly independent / lone-working position at times.

What you'll get in return

You will receive a highly competitive salary of approximately £40,000 - £50,000 on offer for the right person, with additional commission / target-related bonuses on offer for the successful application (Please note a lower salary is achievable for someone with less experience, but the right attitude / attributes to be successful). Full terms will be released as part of the process, but if you feel you've got the raw skills to make this position your own - apply to begin our journey.
