So, if you have the drive and people skills to become our new Sales Executive, covering the Gatwick and Crawley areas, read on...
About the Sales Executive role
In a team of two (part of a wider team), you will provide waste solutions to customers, but also empower them to achieve their sustainability goals and reduce the environmental impact of their rubbish. From building new client relationships to looking after existing accounts, you'll be the driving force behind our success in a competitive market. The job will involve cold-calling and making your own appointments to visit customers.
And if working for a waste company sounds, well, rubbish, think again. With many awards under our (green) belt and more industry-leading facilities in the pipeline, combined with highly specialised plants, robots, and new and emerging technologies, this is an interesting and exciting world. We work with over 12,000 businesses of all shapes and sizes, including festivals, football clubs and airports.
What we're looking for in our Sales Executive
A full driving licence is a 'must' and experience in the waste industry is a bonus but not essential.
Why Grundon – and what’s in it for you
We believe in nurturing talent and offer plenty of training and professional development opportunities.
You can expect a perks and benefits package that includes:
- 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
