Project Delivery: Listen to client requirements, generate accurate solution quotes, and follow projects through from order confirmation to final site handover.
What We Are Looking For (Transferable Skills):
We are highly open to transferable skills. To be considered, you should bring relatable sales experience from at least one of the following areas:
Property & Construction: Experience working for an Estate Agent or Housebuilder selling new-build properties, or selling related construction products.
Sector-Relevant Sales: Experience within the surfacing, landscaping, play equipment, or playground sectors.
Technical Sales: A proven track record in B2B solution or technical sales roles, with the ability to absorb technical details and explain their commercial benefits.
