Thank you for taking the time to read about this Project Manager role!
- Do you enjoy managing projects and building relationships?
- Do you want to be part of a family business, in a team where everyone pulls together to achieve the overall goal?
- Are you wanting a varied and fluid role, working in an SME where you might have to wear a few different hats?
- Do you love to get stuck in and learn everything there is to know about the product / service you're selling?
- Then this new Project Manager role, within the Project and Sales team at Servaclean might be the perfect role for you!
Oliver King Consulting are partnering with Servaclean to recruit for this role. You should note there is another role available, as such, please read both roles to see if you have a preference. Both are PM roles, just dealing with different parts of the process.
1 role is a Project Manager - Pre-Installation, technical sales up to the point of the order being received - this advert
1 role is an Installation Project Manager - looking after the project after the order has been received, with this role being a more 'hands-on' role, equipped with van/tools to deal with small installations/snags, etc - see other advert
Servaclean
Servaclean have been kitting out the hospitality sector with premium bars since 1988, when they founded the company on their patented 'GLASShelf' technology. 'GLASShelf' has been proven to be the most hygienic way of storing glass backed up by research by Sheffield Hallam University! Not only do Servaclean provide long-lasting, quality products, they also have a team of people who stay. With the newest team member having been there for 4 years, the average length of service is somewhere around the 15-20 years mark.
So, what might a typical week look like?
Within the Project and Sales team, half of the team focus on the sales and project management at the start of the project and the other half of the team focuses on the logistics and project implementation element of the project.
This role focuses on the initial stages of the sales and project process in the main, but looks for flexibility to support across the full scope of projects.
