Role Description
Are you a confident, customer-focused sales professional with a background in building materials? Do you thrive in a close-knit team where no two days are the same? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for a Sales Executive to join our Aylesbury branch — someone who can build strong relationships, drive results, and play an active role across the branch. You’ll be a key point of contact for our customers, offering expert advice and ensuring a first-class service at every touchpoint.
This isn’t a behind-the-desk role — we’re a small team, so you’ll occasionally support in the yard or warehouse and may need to operate a forklift (training can be provided if needed).
Responsibilities:
* Build and maintain strong relationships with trade and commercial customers
* Respond to sales enquiries by phone, email and in person, offering expert product advice
* Raise quotes and process orders accurately and efficiently
* Proactively upsell and promote suitable products to meet customer needs
* Maintain accurate records of customer accounts, sales activity, and pricing
* Collaborate with colleagues across the branch to ensure smooth operations
* Provide occasional cover in the yard and warehouse, including forklift work if trained
* Support stock control and help ensure the branch remains clean, safe and well-presented
Join us and be part of a team that values expertise, effort, and collaboration. At George Lines, we’re proud to supply quality materials and honest advice to the civils and groundworks sector — and we’re just getting started.
