Working closely with our sales, hire and operational teams, you'll help ensure the smooth running of our hire processes while maximising sales opportunities and delivering a first-class customer experience.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, has a commercial mindset and thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment.

• Managing customer hire enquiries, bookings, extensions and off-hires.

• Providing excellent customer service by telephone, email and through our internal systems.

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with new and existing customers.

• Proactively identifying sales opportunities and promoting Speedy's products and services.

• Preparing quotations, processing hire orders and ensuring documentation is completed accurately.

• Working closely with depots, transport and operational teams to coordinate equipment availability, deliveries and collections.

• Following up on quotations and customer enquiries to maximise sales conversions.

• Supporting customer retention by maintaining regular contact and understanding future hire requirements.
