Location: Birstall (WF17 9LR).
Contract: Fixed 2 year contract with the opportunity of a permanent position.
Ideal for: Post-graduates in economics or mechanical engineering. Some work-based experience required (e.g., customer service, sales support, admin, retail, operations).
Start your Sales career in a fast-paced, high-value capital equipment business, with the industry's number one brand and the UK’s largest private Volvo network.
The logistics industry is changing as it moves towards decarbonisation, and that’s making the role more interesting than ever. Alongside building customer relationships and managing accounts, you’ll learn how to put together Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) arguments and help customers think about the move towards alternative fuels — bringing together economics, engineering and sustainability.
Don’t worry if you don’t know trucks yet — we’ll give you all the coaching, support and training you need to grow into a confident sales and account management professional, with a clear path towards an Area Sales Manager role.
