Our client is a leading manufacturer and supplier of innovative construction products and is looking for a Specification Sales Executive to join their growing team!
This is an opportunity for someone with a customer service or sales background who enjoys making initial contact with prospective customers and building lasting relationships. Full product and technical training will be provided, so previous construction-product experience is not essential.

- Make initial contact with architects, designers, specifiers and other decision-makers
- Introduce the company and its products by telephone, email and online meetings
- Build relationships, understand customer needs and qualify potential opportunities
- Maintain contact with prospective customers and follow up at the appropriate stages of their projects
- Keep accurate records of conversations, project details and next steps on the CRM system
- Work with the Sales and Technical teams to ensure customers receive the right information and support
- Develop knowledge of the company’s products, applications and specification process through full training
- Provide product information and support customer presentations and CPDs as knowledge develops
- Help progress specification opportunities through the sales pipeline
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
The Ideal Specification Sales Executive Will Have:
- Experience in customer service, sales, internal sales, account management or business development
- Confidence starting conversations and developing new customer relationships
- Strong communication, questioning and listening skills
- A proactive approach to following up opportunities
- Good organisation and experience maintaining customer records or using a CRM system
- An interest in learning about technical products; construction industry experience would be beneficial but is not essential
Specification Sales Executive Working Hours and Benefits:
- Monday to Friday: 8am to 5pm
- 23 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
- Paid day off for your birthday
- Salary sacrifice pension scheme
- Private medical insurance
