What will I be doing?

As part of our dedicated Regional Field Sales Team, you will play a key role in securing new business for SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK.

Day to day, you’ll be out in your local area building relationships with prospective clients, understanding their needs, and offering a tailored Total Waste Solution. Your work will directly support our targets for sales performance, revenue growth, and sustainability.

You’ll operate within a defined geographic territory, working closely with colleagues across operational, commercial, and customer service teams. Strong communication will be essential — not only when collaborating internally, but also when explaining our recycling values and demonstrating why non‑landfill options are shaping the future of responsible waste management.

• Building strong relationships with customers and presenting effective, sustainable waste solutions.
• Reporting leads, calls, quotes, and contract activity accurately on the Company Operating System.
• Creating sales plans, delivering presentations, negotiating confidently at all levels, and supporting the wider Field Sales team.
• Promoting recycling‑led services and helping customers understand the benefits of resource‑efficient waste solutions.

You will bring:

• A proven track record in Sales, with the drive to achieve and exceed targets.
