Huddersfield HD4 - Hybrid - office based 3 days per week must live within a commutable distance to HD4

Are you an experienced Account Manager who understands facilities, construction or working at height? At Access North, safety isn t a strapline. It s how we live. We re an independent height specialist business based near Huddersfield, built on trust, straight talking advice and doing what s right. Always.

Now we re looking for someone who wants to build relationships properly. Someone who listens first, guides with confidence and isn t afraid to educate clients so they can make safer, smarter decisions.

If you re driven by doing things well, not by ego, we should talk.

The Role

This isn t just account management. You ll be the trusted partner for your clients. The person they call when they need clarity. The one who can explain the technical without hiding behind jargon.

You ll manage existing relationships and develop new ones. You ll work closely with our technical team to make sure projects are delivered safely, on time and on budget. And you ll take real ownership, from first conversation through to completion.

We don t sell for the sake of it. We guide. We advise. We design out risk wherever we can. Then we deliver properly.

What You'll Do

• Building strong, long term client relationships based on trust
• Spotting opportunities to add value, not just increase turnover
• Working alongside our technical team to plan and deliver projects
• Managing quoting, estimating and job costing with accuracy
• Keeping projects on track, on budget and aligned with agreed KPIs
• Acting as a calm, clear point of contact throughout
• Stepping in when needed. Because we re one team

You ll help clients understand what s required, why it matters and what the safest route looks like. You won t overcomplicate. You won t overpromise. You ll tell it straight.

What We Need

• 4+ years in an account management or client facing role
• A background in facilities management, working at height or construction.
• Strong project management skills and commercial awareness
• Clear communication and confident negotiation skills
• Comfortable with cloud based tools and quick to adapt to new systems
• Able to work independently and take ownership
• Based within 45 minutes of Huddersfield

You ll need to be organised, detail focused and comfortable balancing multiple projects. This role carries responsibility. And that s exactly why it s rewarding.

Who you are

Someone with integrity who thrives in a small, collaborative team environment. You'll be:

• You take pride in doing things properly.
• You re confident in your knowledge but never arrogant. You know that real expertise means explaining things clearly, not showing off.
• You enjoy educating clients. You want them to understand the why, not just the what. You re patient. You re calm under pressure. And you don t let ego get in the way of a good outcome.
• You value punctuality. You take ownership. You follow through.
• And you re always looking to improve. Yourself, the process, the outcome.
• If you happen to love the outdoors, climbing or exploring, you ll probably feel right at home here too.

Why Access North?

• Family run, people first business
• Safety at the heart of everything we do
• A collaborative team who genuinely have each other s backs
• Varied, challenging projects across multiple sectors
• Space to grow, learn and make a real impact
• A culture built on trust, accountability and high standards

If you re ready to step into a role where your voice matters, your work has impact and your integrity counts, we d love to hear from you.
