Job Title: Account Manager - Remedials and Servicing
Salary: £30k - £35k + bonus + car
Hours: Monday to Friday, normal hours (office and field based, flexible)
Location: Chesterfield
Contract: Permanent
About This Opportunity
Our client, a well-established storage and racking specialist supplying major national trade and retail customers, is creating a brand-new Account Manager role within its Contracts team. With a growing order book of remedial, repair and maintenance work, they need a dedicated person to take ownership of this area and keep customers served to the highest standard.
This is a genuine opportunity to learn a skilled, in-demand niche from the ground up. The role is junior level by design: the business is looking for attitude, drive and a customer-first mindset over a specific background and will train the right person properly in-house. Racking experience is welcome but not essential. The focus is on servicing existing customers rather than scouting for new business, with real scope to progress and grow your earnings over time.

Take ownership of remedial, repair and maintenance works across customer racking sites
Manage and service a portfolio of existing customer accounts, delivering fast, reactive support on one to two-day projects typically valued between £5k and £50k
Liaise with the racking inspector to understand inspection findings and required works
Carry out site surveys and take down enquiry details, using CAD to capture measurements (full training provided)
Prepare cost reports and add them to the job sheet
Put together materials and labour lists for each job
Work through each job with the installation manager before quoting for the works
Work closely with estimators, designers and the wider Contracts team, travelling to customer sites across different areas of the country
