RoleAn exciting opportunity has arisen for a field-based Area Sales Manager to join a market-leading construction materials manufacturer within their specialist hard landscaping division. The role is focused on selling a comprehensive range of high-performance materials - including bedding mortars, jointing solutions, priming slurries and ancillaries - all used across public realm, commercial and urban regeneration projects.
Your week will be spent primarily in the field (4 days), with customer visits split across:
- Heavy and specialist merchants (e.g. national, independent, and specialist distributors)
- Landscaping contractors and applicators
- Landscape architects and specifiers (circa 20%)
You'll manage product training, branch support, customer incentives, site demonstrations, and specification follow-through, while tracking purchasing trends and converting leads. This role is part of a well-supported regional sales team, with strong internal resources and technical back-up.
CompanyThis business is an established, award-winning manufacturer with a strong UK presence and a global export footprint. Known for innovation and customer service, they manufacture materials for use in highways, tiling, commercial interiors, public realm landscaping, and internal finishes. Products are sold via a trusted merchant and distributor network, and they are a preferred supplier on a wide range of high-spec projects.
You'll be joining a highly credible, supportive team within a brand that is well-known in the market - with strong technical resources, robust marketing, and a growing pipeline of projects.
PersonWe're looking for a confident, commercially focused sales professional with experience in the construction materials sector - ideally from a heavyside, building products or landscaping background. You should be:
- Comfortable on site in full PPE, engaging contractors and end-users
- Capable of building strong branch relationships and influencing spend
- Confident delivering CPDs and product demonstrations
- A natural "trader" - someone who spots opportunities and maximises them
Experience selling into merchants, working with contractors, or generating demand through specification is ideal. Landscaping product experience is a bonus but not essential.
This role suits someone hands-on, enthusiastic, and target-driven - looking to grow within a supportive and reputable organisation.
