* Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively within your region.
Territory & Travel
* South London – Surrey/South Sussex.
* This is a home-based, field role with frequent customer visits.
What’s On Offer
* £50k–£60k basic plus quarterly bonuses (OTE c. £100k).
* Company car allowance £600–£700 per month + fuel card.
* 10% pension and Bupa healthcare.
* Backing from a well-known brand with significant market presence and a team lending £250m+ per year.
* Inclusive culture with flexibility to help you balance work and home life.
Compliance & Governance
* Adhere to FCA regulations at all times and ensure the Treating Customers Fairly initiative is fully met.
* Align with the organisation’s Enterprise Risk Management framework and reporting standards.
It Would Be Great If You Also Have
* Working knowledge of construction & recycling assets/equipment (e.g., plant, materials handling, recycling technology).
* Confidence analysing and interpreting financial information to support proposals.
