Our client is an established, privately owned family business renowned for the quality of its superior kitchens. Since its establishment in 1987, with roots dating back to the mid 1940’s, they have grown a solid reputation as a provider to the specific needs of the contract kitchen market, supplying specialist ranges for the public housing sector, private developer market and trade merchants.
They now have an exciting opportunity for a Kitchen Design Department Manager to join them at their offices in Hadfield, Glossop. Reporting directly to the Sales Director, you will also work closely with the MD, as well as the product design and development departments on new projects.
Within the role you will manage a team of 5 designers and estimators who are undertaking design and estimations on national residential building projects, these range in size from 20 plots to as many as 1000 plots on large apartment schemes. Reviewing the inbound enquiries that come in directly from the sales team, or from the customer themselves, you will prioritise the leads and work to be completed by the team.
Our client is looking for someone who has great commercial awareness, coupled with the ability to operate autonomously and make decisions on the ground. Kitchen knowledge and experience is essential, as is having knowledge of all Microsoft software, including Excel. Being able to design and plan kitchens on CAD software would be preferable.
This is an ideal opportunity for a former Showroom Manager, Estimator, Surveyor or Installation Manager from a similar industry.
