About the Role

Are you a driven sales professional looking to transition your career into a high-growth, stable sector?

We are recruiting for a market-leading surfacing contractor that designs and installs safety surfacing across the play, sports, and recreation sectors. Serving a diverse client base—including Local Authorities, Town & Parish Councils, Schools, and major Housing Developers—this role offers an excellent pipeline of business development opportunities.

Whether you are looking to step away from weekend estate agency hours, move into technical solution sales from a housebuilder, or leverage an existing landscaping/surfacing or play sector background, full product and market training will be provided. You will initially attend joint client meetings to learn the ropes, understand customer needs, and master the proposal process.

Key Responsibilities

• Account Development: Nurture and expand relationships with an existing customer base to unlock new business.
• New Business Targeting: Promote the company’s range of construction-related surfacing solutions and installation services to new-build developers, educational bodies, and local authorities.
• Territory Growth: Manage and investigate new opportunities within your designated area to drive consistent sales growth.
• 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

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.
• Drive & Passion: A high-energy professional who brings fresh ideas and enthusiasm to an ambitious, expanding business.
• Mobility: A full, valid UK driving licence is essential due to the travel required for site visits and client meetings.

What’s on Offer?

• Competitive base salary of £32k–£35k (negotiable based on experience).
• Uncapped bonus scheme linked directly to sales and margin targets.
• Company car for meetings and site visits.
• Laptop and mobile phone.
• Genuine opportunities to progress your sales career within a market-leading business that actively invests in its team.
