• Preparing customer presentations, proposals, and technical-commercial updates
• Participating in customer meetings, reviews, and site visits

• Supporting pricing discussions, bids, and contract implementation
• Maintaining accurate CRM records, pipeline updates, and sales reporting
• Monitoring market trends and competitor activity to build commercial awareness
• Ensuring a high standard of customer experience across logistics, operations, and technical support
