  • Through your excellent communication & interpersonal skills, you'll engage with both the trade customer and the homeowner to truly understand their project in order to exceed expectations and maximise sales.
  • On-Site Visits - not all customers will come to the branch, so you'll visit homes or building sites to create inspirational designs on CAD back at the branch and present them to clients.
  • Safety First: Safety is key, so you'll ensure colleagues and customers leave the showroom safely by following all safety policies and procedures.
