Please accept this as my expression of interest for the Sales Administrator role within the Sales Estimating team.
Currently, I am a Project Coordinator within our Project Delivery Team and have been able to guide numerous clients through their pre-construction journey. Whilst some aspects of this role have been extremely rewarding, it has also challenged me and most definitely pushed me outside of my comfort zone.
Over the past 3 years, this role and business has supported me in a number of life changes. Including giving me the opportunity to prove myself in an industry that was I was unfamiliar in after leaving hairdressing (the only career I had known) and now starting a family and becoming a mum.
Whilst I have enjoyed my time as a Project Coordinator, I feel as if there are some aspects of the role that have changed and unfortunately do not align with the stage of life that I am in. This has led me to want to explore other opportunities within the business.
The Sales Administrator role would allow me explore other aspects of the business that I have not had the opportunity to as a Project Coordinator. I would love to gain more of an understanding of Sales Estimating and what type of work/research has to go into a job within the early stages before it enters Operations.
I like to think of myself as very personable and will try my best to fit within any team I am given the opportunity in.
Whilst I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in my current role, I feel as if I am ready to start my next chapter and broaden my knowledge in a new team and environment.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Buckingham
