At Flex-R we are currently looking for an experienced and motivated Product and Training Specialist (Roofing). The role is wide ranging and includes training and guiding our approved Contractors and Distributors in the correct use of our roofing systems and products, as well as providing technical quotations and information to them. We also provide information to both professionals in the industry such as Architects, Project Managers, Specifiers and building owners, to promote the use of our roofing systems.

What does the role involve?
Reporting to the National Technical Manager, you will be required to carry out various aspects of the role from our southern office based in High Wycombe. The role will also include time spent in the field, visiting sites and contractors in the south east to carry out training and support roles. You will give technical assistance and advice for our range of single ply and liquid waterproofing solutions and be a point of contact for our approved contractors and distributors.
Working alongside the Flex-R Sales Team, you will also help to ensure that roofing inquiries are converted into sales, by providing the expertise to reassure the client that choosing Flex-R and its systems is the right choice to ensure quality service and products from specification through to installation.
You'll be expected to carry out live product demonstrations, training for our Approved Contractor and Distributor network customers, process warranty applications and undertake a varied range of tasks.
To be successful in this role you will ideally have extensive knowledge of the standards and regulations within the roofing industry – flat roofing knowledge in particular, would offer an advantage. You'll have to engage effectively with members of the design and construction team, so excellent communication and influencing skills are a must.

Suitable candidates must be able to clearly demonstrate:
Extensive knowledge of roofing systems, products and industry legislation
Experience in teaching or demonstrating roofing products and fitting methods
Strong interpersonal and communication skills – the ability to engage with people at all levels from fitters, through to architects.
Strong IT skills with the ability to pick up and use new software packages
The ability to travel regularly, covering a territory from Norwich down to Kent and everything in between – but be based at our High Wycombe office the rest of the time.If you're a highly motivated individual who is passionate about roofing, we look forward to receiving your application!
