Launch Your Career with a Leading Technical Distribution Business
Are you an ambitious graduate looking to build a successful career in B2B sales?
Do you want to join an established business that will invest in your development, give you genuine responsibility from day one and provide a clear pathway into professional B2B sales and long-term career progression?
This is an outstanding opportunity to join a highly respected specialist technical distributor supplying market-leading HVAC controls, Building Management Systems (BMS), industrial automation and electrical control solutions. The company has an excellent reputation for developing talented people, with many of its successful sales professionals beginning their careers in trainee positions.
About the Business
Our client is a long-established technical distributor working with many of the world's leading manufacturers of HVAC controls, Building Management Systems (BMS), industrial automation and electrical control technologies.
They supply and support customers across the commercial and industrial sectors, including mechanical and electrical contractors, building controls specialists, OEMs, systems integrators, facilities management companies, industrial manufacturers, panel builders and engineering businesses. Combining technical expertise with outstanding customer service, they help customers deliver projects ranging from individual control components through to complete building management and industrial automation solutions.
This is a business that genuinely invests in its people, offering structured training, ongoing mentoring and clear opportunities for career progression.
The Role
This is far more than a typical graduate role. You'll gain a thorough understanding of the business by learning how each department operates before progressing into a customer-focused technical sales position.

Your training will include exposure to:
- Customer Service
- Warehouse & Logistics

As your knowledge and confidence grow, you'll begin managing your own customer relationships, preparing quotations, identifying sales opportunities and developing into a fully-fledged Technical Sales Executive.
