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.

- good time-management and organisational skills;

- a full UK driving licence.
