Location: Home-based, with travel across your designated UK region
Sector: Residential Construction / Ground Engineering
Are you a driven salesperson who knows how to turn opportunities into orders?
We’re looking for an ambitious, commercially minded salesperson who combines a hunter’s mentality with practical construction knowledge and the confidence to sell technical solutions directly to homeowners.
This is an opportunity to join an established and growing engineering business that helps homeowners resolve complex problems affecting their properties. The company offers innovative solutions that can be faster, less disruptive and more cost-effective than traditional construction methods.
This is a fast-paced, end-to-end sales role where urgency, follow-up and conversion are critical. You’ll manage inbound leads, assess customer needs, develop technical proposals, present quotations and close business, with a target of moving from initial enquiry to sale within 30 days.
What you’ll be doing
- Win business: Convert inbound residential enquiries into profitable orders, taking ownership from first contact through to close.
- Move quickly: Respond to leads promptly, qualify opportunities and maintain momentum throughout a short sales cycle.
- Understand the problem: Conduct virtual and on-site assessments, review relevant surveys and technical reports, and establish the customer’s needs.
- Sell technical solutions: Explain construction-related problems and proposed solutions in straightforward language, building confidence with homeowners.
- Close the deal: Prepare and present proposals, handle objections, negotiate commercially and follow up consistently until a decision is reached.
- Own your pipeline: Maintain accurate CRM records, manage forecasts and use sales activity and conversion data to improve performance.
- Deliver a great customer experience: Build trust, manage expectations and ensure a smooth handover to the delivery team.
What we’re looking for
We’re interested in people who combine commercial drive with enough technical understanding to confidently sell solutions to construction and property-related problems.
You’ll ideally have:
- A proven track record in sales, business development or account management, with evidence of winning business and achieving targets.
- Experience selling technical, construction-related or high-value solutions to residential customers.
- A practical understanding of buildings, construction, surveying, structural repairs or property-related problems.
- The confidence to explain technical concepts to non-technical customers and build trust during important purchasing decisions.
- A strong sense of urgency, excellent follow-up habits and the resilience to keep deals moving.
- The ability to manage multiple opportunities simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
- Commercial judgement, attention to detail and confidence using CRM systems.
- A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across your region.
Experience in subsidence, foundation repair, underpinning or structural remediation would be advantageous, but isn’t essential if you bring the right sales ability, construction understanding and willingness to learn.
What makes you successful here?
You don’t wait for a customer to chase you. You take ownership.
You don’t rely on a quote to sell itself. You explain the value, address concerns and ask for the business.
You understand that speed matters, but so do technical credibility, sound commercial judgement and doing the right thing for the customer.
You’re motivated by targets, enjoy being accountable for your results and thrive in an environment where your performance makes a tangible difference.
What’s on offer?
- Competitive basic salary and a generous commission structure.
- Company pension.
- Salary sacrifice car scheme.
- £15 per month towards your gym membership.
- 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
- Specialist technical and sales training, with hands-on mentoring.
- A home-based role with regional autonomy.
- Opportunities for career progression and professional development.
- PPE and company uniform supplied.

If you’re commercially ambitious, technically curious and motivated by turning opportunities into orders, we’d like to hear from you.
