Customer Success Manager

Bilingual Account Manager (German/English) £26,000 - £28,000 Hybrid working - 2 days in the office, rest from home (flexible for the right person) The Role This isn’t just about answering emails and ticking boxes. It’s about being the person who keeps customers across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland genuinely happy — and coming back for more. Think account management with a customer-first twist: building relationships, spotting growth opportunities, and swooping in with solutions when things wobble. What You’ll Be Doing Chatting with customers in German and English - phone, email, the works Teaming up with colleagues to make sure orders go out right and on time (no chasing vans across car parks required) Keeping the CRM tidy - future-you will thank you Quoting, negotiating, and closing with confidence Owning retention and upsell targets (without losing sight of the human on the other end) Winning back customers who’ve drifted off - charm offensive mode on Building trust through honest, open communication Jumping in to help the wider team during the “all hands on deck” moments Wearing the occasional extra hat when needed - flexibility is key What You’ll Need Proper fluency in German and English - written and spoken A knack for adapting your style to whoever’s on the other end Some background in customer service, sales, or account management (bonus points if you’ve juggled all three) Drive to hit targets, without being pushy or robotic The ability to stay cool when things get hectic A problem-solver’s brain and resilience to match Sharp time-management skills (spinning plates without dropping them) Accuracy, attention to detail, and solid PC skills What You Might Not Like Targets are part of the game - they’ll keep you on your toes The pace isn’t gentle; priorities can flip overnight Hybrid means at least 2 days a week in the office - so not one for the “forever-remote” crowd What To Do Next Sound like you? Then throw your hat in the ring and let’s talk.

Senior Electrical Engineer - NPD

Senior Electrical Engineer (NPD) Bourne, Lincs Up to £75k pa Office based role The Role We are on the lookout for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Client’s New Product Development team. This is not about tinkering at the edges - you’ll be shaping the next generation of products that are depended upon globally. What You’ll Be Doing Turning customer and market requirements into real product concepts (yes, voice of the customer actually matters here). Leading electrical design work, from calculations to CAD schematics and drawings. Running and supporting product FMEAs, validation programmes, and testing schedules. Ensuring system integration hits performance targets and is designed for manufacture (no one likes last-minute bodges). Producing technical specs, BOMs, test reports, and customer documentation. Spotting and implementing improvements by keeping an eye on new and emerging technologies. Driving process improvements across the department to make things run smarter. Making sure every product is compliant with relevant safety codes and standards. What You’ll Need An electrical degree (BSc/BEng) or equivalent qualifications, plus solid industrial/product experience. At least 5 years in an NPD role. Confidence with AutoCAD/SolidWorks Electrical and Microsoft 365. Strong understanding of HV, MV, and LV circuits Energy, drive, problem-solving grit, and the ability to make sound decisions. Excellent communication skills - you’ll be engaging with customers, suppliers, and cross-functional teams. Organised, detail-oriented, and able to deliver on time. What You Might Not Like This isn’t a “sit behind the desk and tweak drawings” type of role. It’s hands-on, dynamic, and sometimes messy. The pace can be fast, and priorities shift - flexibility is part of the job. Standards and compliance are non-negotiable. If you cut corners, you’ll stick out like a sore thumb. What To Do Next If you’re excited by the idea of taking electrical design from concept through to real-world impact - and you’ve got the track record to prove it - we’d love to hear from you. Throw your hat in the ring, send us your CV, and let’s talk.

Test Engineer

Bourne, Lincs £45k pa On site position The Role If precision, problem-solving, and making sure things work exactly as they should is your thing - this one’s for you. We’re looking for a Test Engineer to join our clients' operations team. You’ll play a key role in ensuring products are tested thoroughly, safely, and on time, keeping customers happy and projects moving. What You’ll Be Doing Running day-to-day product tests so customer delivery schedules stay on track. Working closely with Production, Sales, Engineering, and Customer Services to make sure issues get spotted, reported, and resolved quickly. Making sure test processes (and statutory regulations) are followed — no shortcuts here. Supporting factory witness tests with customers or third-party representatives. Helping deliver training and verifying the competency of colleagues in the Test team. Reporting quality, safety, and delivery issues accurately and promptly. Encouraging safe working practices across the team. Using your authority to manage live working permits (with the site Authorised Person). Spotting and supporting improvements, from root-cause analysis to corrective actions. Feeding into New Product Introduction (NPI) so new designs are test-ready. Championing a “right first time” culture. What You’ll Need HNC (or equivalent) in an engineering discipline. At least 3 years’ experience in an electrical testing role, ideally within manufacturing. Leadership experience would be handy (but not essential). Strong knowledge of electrical test processes, documentation, and fault-finding. Ability to read and interpret design drawings, test procedures, and work instructions. Familiarity with fault reporting and RCCA (root cause & corrective action). Great attention to detail, accuracy, and time management. Confidence with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint). A collaborative, self-starting, adaptable approach - the kind of person people want on their team. What You Might Not Like This isn’t just ticking boxes - accuracy matters. If you’re slap-dash, this will drive you (and us) mad. It’s not a role where you can sit in a corner undisturbed. You’ll be working across teams and juggling priorities. Problems will land on your desk - and they’ll need solving, not shelving. What To Do Next If this sounds like you - detail-driven, collaborative, and keen to play a hands-on role in a business that leads its field - we’d love to hear from you. Send us your CV and let’s start the conversation.

Technical Quality Specialist

QA / Technical Specialist Peterborough Circa £30k pa The Role Our client is on the hunt for someone who doesn’t just do quality, but lives and breathes it. They’re looking for a QA / Technical Specialist who can keep the paperwork watertight, the audits in check, and the production team on their toes (in the friendliest way possible). This isn’t a box-ticking exercise - it’s about food safety, consistency, and making sure customers get exactly what they’re promised. If you’ve got an eye for detail and the confidence to call things out when they’re not quite right, this could be your next move. What You’ll Be Doing Owning and improving the company’s Quality System. Leading the HACCP team and championing food safety culture across the site. Taking the lead on industry audits Working with customers to nail down specifications before anything leaves the site. Running the complaints system - and aiming for fewer complaints year on year.

Clear, approachable communication - whether with colleagues on the floor or customers at the other end of the phone. A proactive, can-do mindset and the resilience to keep pushing improvements through. What You Might Not Like This isn’t a “same every day” role - complaints, audits, and challenges can land when you least expect them. You’ll need to flip between the big picture and the finer details without missing a beat. Change can be uncomfortable, and not everyone loves it as much as you do. What To Do Next If you’re ready to take the lead on quality, raise the bar, and still keep a sense of humour along the way, we’d love to tell you more. Apply today with your CV and we’ll be in touch.

Assistant to Director

Associate Financial Advisor Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire Competitive Salary Monday to Friday 9am-5pm The Role This isn’t your typical support role. As Associate Financial Adviser, you’ll work directly with the Director, supporting and servicing a portfolio of valued clients — with the long-term goal of stepping into their shoes and taking that portfolio forward. You’ll begin by shadowing and assisting: preparing research, coordinating advice, and supporting client relationships. Over time, as your knowledge and confidence grow, you’ll take on more responsibility until you’re the one leading those relationships. For someone ambitious, analytical, and client-focused, it’s a rare opportunity: mentorship at the highest level with a clear succession pathway. What You’ll Be Doing Partnering to deliver tailored financial planning solutions. Researching, analysing and preparing advice that genuinely helps clients. Staying ahead of product, technical and regulatory changes. Ensuring compliance and CPD requirements are met (properly, not grudgingly).

A working knowledge of FCA rules and compliance. Communication skills that work just as well with spreadsheets as they do with people. Organisational skills sharp enough to keep pace with a busy Director. A commercial mindset balanced with genuine care for clients. What You Might Not Like This is not a background role — client contact will become central. Compliance and CPD are part of daily life. The pace is brisk, and progression means being stretched. If you’re looking for “maintenance mode,” this isn’t it. This is a site-based role – if you’re looking for hybrid or remote, this isn’t it. What’s on Offer Competitive salary Pension contributions up to 5% Benefits package that’s actually generous 35-hour week with early Friday finishes (yes, that means 4pm) 24 days holiday including 3 days at Christmas and your birthday off, plus bank holidays Regular team-building activities (the good kind, not the awkward kind) What To Do Next If you’re ready to grow into a trusted Financial Adviser role - with the mentoring, exposure, and succession pathway to get you there - then click APPLY now!
