The site hours are 8am - 5pm Monday – Friday, but as with all sales roles an element of flexibility will be required. The role is office based, but you will be expected to be on the road for 3–4 days a week. Customers are up to around 2 hours away, so travel is local.
This is a great opportunity to join a stable yet expanding group where you will be the only salesperson. Future opportunities to take on additional responsibilities exist if you desired.
