About the Trainee Sales Executive role
If working for a waste company sounds, well, rubbish, think again. Just for starters, we turn non-recyclable waste into electricity then use this to power some of our electric vehicles, our aerosol recycling facility is the world's most advanced, and we launched the UK's first nationwide inhaler recycling scheme. We work with over 12,000 businesses of all shapes and sizes, including festivals, football clubs and airports.
As Trainee Sales Executive, you will learn how to provide waste solutions to customers - but it's not just about getting rid of their waste, it's about empowering 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 involves cold-calling and making your own appointments to visit clients face-to-face - but first things first, you'll receive thorough training.
What we're looking for in our Trainee Sales Executive
The 'musts' are enthusiasm, a persuasive personality and a full driving licence. Oh, and you must be good at managing your time.
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
