A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and proactive sales professional to join a leading manufacturer of insulation and roofing systems. This field-based role will focus on developing business across the North of England and Scotland, working with national merchants, specialist distributors, independents, and buying groups.

The role involves managing existing accounts and actively identifying new business opportunities.

Day-to-day tasks include in-branch training, joint site visits, attending trade events, and building long-term client relationships.

This is your chance to join a globally recognised manufacturer within the building envelope space, known for delivering premium solutions across roofing, insulation, waterproofing, and soundproofing.

With a strong UK presence and a portfolio that includes well-known industry brands, the company partners with major national merchants, specialist distributors, and independents. Their products compete directly with leading names in the sector, offering high-performance and trusted solutions to both commercial and residential markets.

• A proactive and tenacious attitude – someone who thrives in a high-activity environment
• Strong relationship-building skills and commercial awareness
• Roofing or insulation knowledge is advantageous, but not essential
