This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in the automatic door industry, particularly within the supermarket or retail environment.

- Reviewing technical assessments from field engineers to identify assets that may be beyond economical repair
- Preparing clear, structured condition reports for automatic doors and related equipment
- Liaising with our technical and installations teams to ensure accurate information is shared internally
- Communicating with customers where clarification or updates are required
What we're looking for in a Technical Advisor:
- Experience within the automatic door industry (essential)
- Knowledge of shutters, gates or sectional doors
- Desirable: familiarity with loading bay lifts or dock levellers, though not essential
- Basic Microsoft Excel capability
- Confidence communicating via email and phone
- A collaborative approach and willingness to work closely with multiple departments
This role is particularly suited to a former engineer who wants to apply their technical knowledge in a stable, office-based environment.
