Sales Contract Administrator
About The Position
Our company is an aerospace investment casting (lost-wax) foundry supporting major OEMs and their sub-tier machine shops. The Sales Administrator serves as the primary liaison between the company and its customers, managing order entry, quoting, and scheduling to ensure customer requirements are met accurately and on time. This is a customer service and account management role rather than a traditional outbound sales position, as the company does not solicit new business in the conventional sense. The Sales Administrator is the customer's main point of contact for order and schedule inquiries, and is responsible for coordinating internally to ensure timely, accurate responses.
