Job description

Graduate Trainee - Sales & Business Manager

Are you confident, ambitious, and the kind of person who can win people over with your charm? We're looking for graduates who aren't afraid of hard graft and want to learn business by doing it, not reading about it.

This isn't your standard grad scheme. There's no slow-moving hierarchy or endless team meetings. This is a real opportunity to earn good money, learn how to run a business from the ground up, and take control of your future.

What's the Job?

You'll be joining the UK's biggest supplier of electrical products to business and trade customers. That means you'll be mixing with electricians, construction companies, local government authorities, housing developers and hotels - real people and businesses with real buying power. You'll learn how to spot opportunities, build relationships, and close deals. Think fast-paced, hands-on, and no two days the same.

What's in It for You?

• Money - Earn while you learn - 31,500 starting salary with bonuses and incentives from day one.
• Autonomy - Once you're up to speed, you're trusted to make it happen. No micro-managing.
• Progression - This is a launchpad. Past grads are now running branches, managing teams, and raking in big bonuses.
• A Company Car - Not a bad look when you progress to getting out and meeting clients.

The First 12 Months:

• Get stuck into all areas of the business - warehouse, trade counter, sales floor, the lot.
• Learn the ropes, the products, and the customers.
• Talk to clients face-to-face, build rapport, spot what they need before they even ask.
• Hit the phones, manage accounts, grow your customer base.

What We're Looking For:

• You're hungry for success - money, progression, recognition.
• You've got confidence, charm, and a thick skin. You don't crumble under pressure.
• You love the idea of business and sales, but don't fancy being stuck behind a desk all day.
• You're up for a challenge, quick on your feet, and sharp with your words.
• You've got a full UK driving licence and you're ready to get stuck in.

If you're ready to graft, get rewarded, and build a career with real earning potential, apply today to find out more!
