The Role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Customer Relationship Executive to join our team based in Newport on a fixed term contract for up to 12 months.

As a Customer Relationship Executive, you'll play a key role in building and maintaining strong relationships with our customers, ensuring they receive an exceptional level of service while identifying opportunities to support business growth.

You'll be a key point of contact for customers, managing enquiries, understanding their requirements and working closely with our operational and sales teams to deliver the right solutions.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, delivering great customer service and working in a busy, fast-paced environment.

What You'll Be Doing

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

• Acting as a key point of contact for customer enquiries, ensuring a professional and efficient service.

• Understanding customer requirements and recommending suitable products, equipment and hire solutions.

• Managing customer accounts and supporting the delivery of agreed service levels.

• Identifying opportunities to increase revenue through additional hire opportunities and customer engagement.

• Working closely with sales, hire and operational teams to ensure customer requirements are met.

• Proactively contacting customers to maintain relationships, understand future requirements and generate business opportunities.

• Resolving customer queries and concerns, ensuring a positive customer experience.

• Processing hire enquiries, quotations and customer orders accurately and efficiently.

• Maintaining accurate customer records and ensuring internal systems are kept up to date.

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

• Confidence in handling customer enquiries, resolving problems and finding solutions.

• Good IT skills and experience using customer management or business systems.

• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team.

Experience within the plant, tool or equipment hire industry would be beneficial, but isn't essential. We're just as interested in your attitude, customer service experience and willingness to learn.
