Specification and Design Altro Scotland @Altro Limited

Edinburgh, GB

We are a world-leading UK specialist manufacturer and supplier of wall and floor coverings. Founded in 1919, today Altro has sales of £100m and we are a family owned business employing over 600 staff and operating in over 75 countries. We lead the way in the safety flooring and wall cladding sector in the UK and our success has been built through determined innovation - matching evolving needs for surfaces that are both decorative and practical. Altro invented safety flooring; it\'s a product area in which they continue to lead the way in the provision of safety, hygiene and durability. We focus around Hospitals, Care homes, Education and the Food and Catering industries where often an integrated solution can be provided offering optimum hygiene, durability and design flexibility through combining our various products. My role as a specification and design consultant for Altro is very challenging and very different on a daily basis. I have to be a product/technical expert and manage a wide range of high profile clients who specialize in construction design. I also work with end users from NHS, Education, Local authorities, Government/MOD and offshore to provide design solutions for there buildings. I have built solid relationships with my large client base and I am highly regarded within the Altro team. Recently I have took on a leadership role within the Scottish team and I have been looking after major projects, presenting our design solutions to large groups and senior management within the top construction companies. I am a very ambitious and driven individual who gives my all and I am a confident communicator at all levels. I bring out the best in people and love helping others to improve by passing on my knowledge and skills. My mindset is you are never to old to learn and I am always happy to undertake further training and development to enhance my career. I work hard to look after my family and they are a big part of my life.
