We're looking for a Senior Sales Person to join us at Civils & Lintels in Exeter. Civils & Lintels' main aim is to consistently exceed our customer's expectations, and we know our people are at the heart of ensuring this happens, which is why we are always on the lookout to recruit the best around. Whether it's civils engineering or lintels, our customers rely on the in-depth knowledge of our depot teams, so we make it our priority to provide the best training to ensure our colleagues are able to offer their expert advice and support.

As a Senior Sales Person, you will help maximise the contribution from the department through profitable sales and profit, in line with the depot business plan and Group policy and strategy. You will be expected to meet and exceed our customers' expectations in terms of the service we provide.

We realise that you are more than just a CV, and embracing everyone's individuality is what makes us great as a team. We can give you plenty of training and equip you with the tools that you'll need to succeed as a Senior Sales Person, but you will need strong relationship building skills and experience of managing a team, preferably within a similar environment.
