What you’ll be responsible for

• Designing for Traders and Homeowners: Using your newly gained product knowledge and design skills, you’ll create bespoke kitchen designs that meet customer needs and exceed their expectations.

• Building Lasting Relationships: You’ll get to know customers on a first-name basis, developing strong, long-term connections by delivering top-notch service and support.

• Creative Flair & CAD Expertise: Using CAD, you’ll design dream kitchens that reflect the customer’s vision, asking the right questions to tailor the solution to their needs.

• Networking & Collaboration: Building a strong customer base to meet targets, you’ll also work closely with the external Sales Rep to ensure customer requirements are met.

• 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 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.

Who you are

You’ll need to be:

• No Industry Experience Needed: We’re looking for transferable skills, a passion for delivering outstanding customer service, and a drive to exceed sales targets.
