Looking for your next sales job or keen to get on the ladder? If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into a career that's both impactful and rewarding, you've come to the right place - we're a progressive, award-winning and genuinely friendly business with lots of awards under our (green) belt. As Sales Executive you will join a small and dynamic team at our Colnbrook office, near Heathrow, on a permanent full-time contract and earn a competitive salary, uncapped commission and a host of benefits, including:

- Company car
- Discretionary company bonuses
- Pension scheme (you contribute 5% of pay, Grundon matches this) with life insurance cover 
- 30 days’ annual leave (inclusive of 8 bank holidays), which will increase with service, plus the option to buy up to 5 extra days' holiday

About the Sales Executive role
New and emerging technologies, combined with looking at ways to reduce the environmental impact of rubbish, make working in waste a rewarding career path in more ways than one.

Your mission as Sales Executive is to provide waste solutions to businesses of all shapes and sizes, ensuring their needs are met and exceeded every step of the way. But it’s not just about getting rid of their waste, it’s about empowering them to achieve their sustainability and carbon reduction goals. From forging new client relationships to nurturing existing accounts, you'll be the driving force behind our success in a competitive market. The role will involve cold-calling and making your own appointments to visit clients face-to-face within your target area (your key territory will be North London and the top of the M25).

Grow with Grundon
The opportunities to progress in sales at Grundon are some of the best in the industry and many of our star sales team have worked their way up to more senior roles. You only have to visit our modern Energy from Waste facility on the outskirts of London to realise that a career with us is far from boring!

What we're looking for in our Sales Executive
Being a persuasive people-person goes with the sales territory, but you'll also need:
- to be competent in Microsoft Office, Database and online CRM systems;
- experience in dealing with customer enquiries, following up leads, conducting face-to-face meetings with perspective customers and building relationships;
- good time-management and organisational skills;
- a full UK driving licence.

Working hours: 35 per week: 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri
