Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working hours: Monday to Friday
What will you be doing?
As an Area Sales Rep you will play a crucial role in our continued success, supporting your Branch Manager and ensuring the highest standards of service delivery. You will be responsible for:
- Reactivating dormant and low spending accounts, and finding new business in an allocated area and for coordinating all aspects of pricing and account development.
- You will regularly be out on the road meeting customers face to face building long lasting relationships and developing new sales opportunities
- You will be self driven to maximise and achieve sales and profit targets from your allocated existing customers that are currently dormant and for new business that you seek out
- You will also be a key part of a wider network team, growing the sales success of the branches on your patch using your expertise to support them in winning in their local area.
- Working with the Head of Sales, you’ll identify your development needs and build a plan to make sure you're on top of your game and achieving the best you can
Who you are
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Bring your passion for sales, customer service, initiative, energy and enthusiasm - we’ll give you the knowledge you need of our industry and products through a brilliant induction with your regional team and the opportunity to gain a foundation degree-level External Sales qualification whilst you work.
Previous experience within merchanting would be advantageous, but if you’re new to our industry we’ll ensure you get what you need to excel in the role.
Customers are at the heart of this role so ideally you’ll be used to building strong relationships with multiple customers and internal stakeholders, perhaps in a previous field-based role.
You’ll be visiting customers, project sites and branches every day - there’s nothing more important than your safety whilst being out on the road so there’s one thing that you definitely need and that’s a full UK driving licence with over a year’s driving experience.
