Previous sales experience will be highly regarded but not essential for the right candidate.  Graduates looking for a career in sales are encouraged to apply.

Whilst there is an element of existing account management with this role, there will also be a strong emphasis on proactively prospecting for new business, as the successful applicant is expected to grow our market share in this region.

• Experience in operating and maintaining a CRM system, or be able to pick up computer systems rapidly
• A confident, courteous, professional and ethical sales approach
• A reasonable mechanical aptitude
