Technical Manager (Drywall)

A busy and fast paced business with great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for career progression - join CCFs growing technical team as a Technical Manager focussing on Drywall and share our success and good times with a hard-working, friendly bunch of people.

The role

You will be supporting the continued growth in sales and conversion rates in interior products and systems (e.g. drywall and ceilings) by developing and nurturing strategic customer technical relationships and delivering high quality technical and specification support aligned to varying customer needs. This role will be central to our technical service offer and be instrumental in developing both existing and new customer relationships which will bring value to both our customers and CCF.  You will provide high quality and timely technical and specification support to customers (remotely, in person and on site as appropriate) in order to drive increasing sales and margin in the short term whilst identifying market opportunities and trends that will drive mid and long term growth.

You’ll use your high level of attention to detail, ability to read and interpret construction layout drawings and assess buildability of details to ensure that customers have solutions that not only meet their technical specifications (and all relevant regulations), but represent good value for money and are practical to build on site. 

In addition to your customer relationships, you’ll develop strong relationships with our suppliers to ensure that our customers get the support they need even for the most unusual or complex projects.  

What we are looking for

You will have a proven track record in the provision of customer technical services relating to building interior products and systems (drywall and ceilings), building regulations, construction details.   You will help support our customers by offering solutions to meet each customer and project need.

You will  develop and maintain mutually beneficial and long lasting customer relationships and you’ll have excellent industry knowledge which you will keep up to date with the very latest industry developments.  

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are a must and you’ll have the ability to communicate complex technical subjects clearly, both verbally and in writing, to different knowledge levels.

You’ll need detailed knowledge of system testing requirements and application and relevance in building specifications.

A knowledge of (and qualification in) passive fire protection would also be an advantage.
