Role: Internal Sales
Location: Milton Keynes
Sector: Construction Supplies / Builders Merchants
Package: £28,000 – £31,000 + Bonus – Dependent on experience – No weekend working!
We are looking for a genuine people person, someone who’s able to engage with customers and who wants to develop a sales career within the construction supplies sector.
About the Role
The ideal candidate would have some sales or trade counter experience from the merchants world but this is NOT essential. This hunt is all about finding the right person as the product side of things can be taught, whereas the natural ‘people skills’ ability will be in-built.
Training and Development
So full training can be provided and there is a clear induction program to bring you up to speed. It is not normally possible to enter the industry at an Internal Sales level and this is still an industry where you can get noticed and progress. Many of the Managing Directors and Regional Directors we deal with started at this level!

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.
