Rewarding Sales Executive – Hybrid Role (Solihull Office + UK Travel)

A respected, nationally recognised commercial surfacing contractor based in Solihull is looking to appoint an ambitious and motivated Sales Executive to join its growing team. This is a standout opportunity for someone who wants to build a long‑term, rewarding career with a business that has earned a strong reputation for quality, reliability and innovation within the safety surfacing sector. The company specialises in designing, supplying and installing premium surfacing solutions for playgrounds, sports facilities, recreational spaces and public environments. Their customers include Local Authorities, Housing Developers, Schools, Architects and Trade Contractors across the UK, giving you exposure to a wide variety of projects and decision‑makers.

Role Overview – Sales Executive

The Sales Executive role is ideal for someone who enjoys a balance of structured teamwork and independent field activity. You’ll divide your time between the Solihull office—where you’ll collaborate with colleagues, plan your pipeline and develop proposals—and travelling nationwide to meet clients, assess project requirements and build strong commercial relationships. This hybrid structure gives you the autonomy to manage your own diary while still benefiting from the support of an experienced internal team.

In this position, you’ll take ownership of both existing accounts and new business development. You’ll guide customers through the entire project journey, from the moment they make an enquiry through to site visits, technical recommendations, quotation preparation and final handover. It’s a hands‑on, varied role that suits someone who enjoys being involved at every stage and takes pride in delivering a seamless customer experience.

The company provides comprehensive technical training, product demonstrations and joint field visits to ensure you feel confident representing the brand. Whether your background is in property sales, construction sales, landscaping products or technical B2B sales, you’ll receive all the support you need to succeed.

Key Responsibilities

• Account development — Maintain and grow existing customer relationships through regular communication, site meetings and proactive support.
• New business generation — Identify opportunities with developers, schools, local authorities and contractors, presenting tailored solutions that meet their project needs.
• UK‑wide site visits — Travel to client locations to assess requirements, take measurements, understand site conditions and recommend the most suitable surfacing systems.
• Technical quotations — Prepare accurate, detailed proposals and manage orders through to completion.
• Internal collaboration — Work closely with operations, installation teams and customer service to ensure smooth project delivery.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a confident communicator who enjoys meeting people, asking the right questions and building long‑term relationships. You’ll be comfortable managing your own schedule, travelling regularly and presenting solutions to professional buyers.

Suitable backgrounds include:

• Estate Agency or New Build Sales
• Construction product sales
• Solution‑based B2B sales

You don’t need prior surfacing experience—just a willingness to learn, a proactive mindset and the drive to achieve results.

Essential requirements:

• Full UK driving licence
• Strong communication and listening skills
• Ability to commute to the Solihull office for hybrid working

Benefits

This role offers a competitive package designed to attract high‑quality sales professionals:

• £32,000–£35,000 base salary
• Results‑based bonus scheme
• Company car
• Laptop, mobile phone and workplace pension
• Full technical training and structured career progression

You’ll have the chance to work on major national projects, influence the development of community spaces and build relationships with key decision‑makers across the UK.
