Join us, and you’ll be part of a business where expertise is valued, ambition is supported, and success is shared.

The Role: What You’ll Be Doing

This isn’t just about hitting targets—it’s about building a territory.

You’ll take ownership of the Bristol region, driving revenue growth by developing strong relationships with both existing customers and new prospects.

Day-to-day, you’ll be:

Building and growing a strong pipeline of new business opportunities
Developing long-term partnerships with key clients
Managing and updating CRM to keep activity and opportunities on track

Meeting (and exceeding) activity targets and KPIs
Delivering against monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets
Negotiating contracts and securing framework agreements
Providing clear updates and forecasts to the Regional Sales Manager

You’ll likely bring:

Proven experience in a sales role, with strong negotiation and influencing skills
A track record of achieving (and exceeding) targets
Confidence in building relationships and closing deals
Strong presentation and proposal-writing skills
A proactive, self-motivated approach with the drive to succeed
Good IT skills (Microsoft Office – particularly Excel, Word, PowerPoint)

Experience in construction or crane hire is a bonus—but not essential. We’re more interested in your attitude, ambition, and ability to learn.

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

Commercially sharp and opportunity-focused
Confident communicator who builds trust easily
Organised, resilient, and able to juggle multiple priorities
Customer-focused, always looking to add value
