Am I right for the job?

This is a key customer facing role, so you will need to be enthusiastic and have excellent communication skills both written and verbal, ideally along with:

  • Ability to identify, understand and respond to customer needs

  • Desire to progress and improve skills and abilities

  • Ability to work on your own initiative

  • Excellent customer service skills

  • Ability to work as a member of a team

  • Sound product knowledge would be desirable, but not essential

  • Good organisational skills, with the ability to plan and prioritise

  • IT experience and good numerical skills


However the bullet points above are not essential as training can be provided. No previous experience? No problem! We also offer a 12 month apprenticeship programme to provide you with the skills and tools to become a civils selling expert, supporting you to reach your potential. 


We’re driving to become a truly inclusive employer. We want everyone to be at their best and it’s our ambition that everyone within our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves. 


You be you, it makes us, us.
