Skills
The role
Location: This role will be South East-based, and you will be required to be based at one of Keyline's branches based in the South East.
Keyline is expanding its cast iron drainage presence across the region, and we are looking for a cast iron drainage Sales Specialist to drive our growth across the sector.
We are looking for someone who truly wants to understand the cast iron drainage market. Acting as a regional authority for customers, suppliers, and internal branch teams, you will turn cast iron enquiries into winning packages to build Keyline's market share.
What you'll be doing
You'll drive year-on-year revenue growth across our cast iron drainage categories, capturing spot spend and locking in repeatable project business with major contractors. That means:
Owning quote enquiries from first call to won order, negotiating profitable margins with customers and suppliers alike
Re-engaging low-spend and dormant accounts, nurturing them back into regular trade before handing them over to local account managers
Taking personal ownership of high-value enquiries while giving branches a clear how-to-win plan on standard quotes
Building dedicated stock packages that solve contractor lead-time headaches and secure committed project spend
What we're looking for
At least 2 years within a civils merchant, utility merchant, pipeline specialist or utility contractor environment
Confidence quoting, estimating and negotiating prices over the phone
A proactive, outbound mindset and a genuine willingness to coach rather than do it all yourself
Why Keyline
You'll be part of the Travis Perkins Group, one of the largest and most respected names in the building materials industry, with the backing, product range and branch network to help you win. This is a role with real autonomy and real impact, where your credibility and commercial drive directly shape how a region trades.
