We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-respected, locally owned supplier to the construction industry who prides themselves on exceptional customer service, quality workmanship, and long-standing client relationships .

  • Working closely with operations to ensure projects are completed on time and to specification.

What you’ll bring :

  • A successful career within the construction industry , ideally in a technical sales role .
  • May also suit an experienced Quantity Surveyor or Draughtsperson seeking a genuine opportunity to step into a commercial leadership role.
  • Proven hunter mindset with a strong ability to drive new business.
  • Sales leadership or team mentoring experience.
  • Commercial acumen and a hands‑on leadership style.
  • Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills.
  • What’s on offer :

  • A senior leadership role within a respected, locally owned business.Competitive salary + uncapped performance incentives + vehicle
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Supportive, team‑focused culture built on quality and integrity.
  • Reward for effort — your results directly impact your earnings and future opportunities.
  • Genuine career progression , including potential future business ownership / buy‑in .
  • Apply now to take your construction career to the next level — leading from the front in a business where hard work, results, and relationships are rewarded.
