• Develop a pipeline of new business opportunities and drive contract renewals.
• Monitor pricing and implement annual RPI inflation increases.
• Attend industry events and act as a brand ambassador for the business.
• Regularly monitor and report on competitor activity.
• Liaise with cross-functional support teams to ensure seamless customer delivery.
• Ensure accurate CRM and sales reporting using company tools (e.g., DCF, CPI).
• Champion safety, compliance, and industry best practice at all times.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong experience in B2B sales and account management.
• Commercially astute with excellent negotiation and closing skills.
• Highly organised with the ability to prioritise workload and manage time.
• A technical mindset and understanding of LPG or similar energy sectors (desirable).
• Comfortable working independently in a field-based role across multiple UK regions.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Confident using Microsoft Office and internal pricing tools.
• A full UK driving license is essential.

What’s in it for you:

• Competitive salary + commission (up to £80K OTE)
• Career development in a leading energy brand
• Hybrid working (majority home/field-based)
• Performance and KPI-based rewards
• Supportive team culture and development pathway
