• HNC in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)

• Strong background in air systems / air handling / similar engineering environments

• Ability to understand technical solutions and communicate confidently with engineers and customers

• Experienced and credible - ideally replacing someone with long-standing industry knowledge

• Reporting to Managing Director

• Stable, successful business with global customer base
