Overview
First Military Recruitment are currently seeking a Sales Advisor (Automotive & Parts) on behalf of our client.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a mechanical or vehicle maintenance background who has a good understanding of automotive parts and is looking to move into a sales and customer-focused role.
Our client is particularly interested in candidates who have experience working on cars, vans, commercial vehicles or similar, with a good knowledge of parts and vehicle applications. This could be a great next step for a mechanic or engineer who wants to move away from the tools while still using their technical knowledge.
The role would also suit ex-military personnel and service leavers, particularly those from mechanical or technical trades, bringing their discipline, reliability and structured approach into a civilian environment.
You'll join a supportive team with full training provided and a clear internal progression pathway, with opportunities to develop into more senior sales and leadership positions over time.
Key Responsibilities
Provide a high standard of customer service to trade and account customers.
Handle customer enquiries and identify the correct parts for their requirements.
Use electronic parts catalogues and vehicle applications to identify products.
Prepare quotations, process sales orders and deal with pricing enquiries.
Manage back orders, returns, warranty claims and customer queries.
Support trade counter and face-to-face customer interactions.
Liaise with warehouse, transport, procurement and depot teams.
Coordinate deliveries and provide updates to customers where required.
Maintain accurate customer and sales records.
Follow up on enquiries and identify opportunities to convert sales.
Maintain good knowledge of products, suppliers and vehicle applications.
Support general depot and administrative duties as required.
What We're Looking For
Previous experience in mechanical or vehicle maintenance.
Good knowledge of automotive parts and vehicle applications.
An interest in developing a career in sales and customer service.
Experience working on cars, vans, HGVs or other vehicles is desirable.
Strong communication and customer service skills.
Good attention to detail and ability to follow processes.
Reliable, professional and comfortable working as part of a team.
Basic IT skills and willingness to learn new systems.
What's on Offer?
Competitive salary
Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm
Full training and ongoing development.
Clear internal progression pathway.
Strong mentoring and support from experienced colleagues.
Long-term career development opportunities.
Pension scheme.
Opportunity to develop your knowledge across sales, parts and depot operations.
Interested?
If you're a mechanic, vehicle technician or engineer with a strong knowledge of automotive parts and are looking to take your next step into sales, this could be an excellent opportunity to use your existing technical knowledge in a new career.
Ex-military personnel and immediate service leavers from mechanical or technical backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply
