Position Overview

Successful applicants will, after appropriate training, service the fire fighting equipment at our customers' sites and supply or recommend goods and/or services as required (predominantly by the relevant British Standard, BS 5306, although other standards and legislation can also apply).

Inherent to the job is the supply of high levels of goods and services, upon which the successful applicants will earn commission.

Required Skills & Experience

First and foremost we're looking for go-getters. Whilst successful applicants need not have any experience in this trade, they must be very confident at being customer-facing and have demonstrable potential for success in sales. This will be self-evident from the successful applicants' presentation and/or career history.

Required Education & Qualifications

As there is a degree of paperwork to the performance of the job, successful candidates must be able to demonstrate an appropriate level of numeracy. Additionally, due to the nature of the sales aspects of the job, literacy is also essential and should again be evident in the candidates' presentation.

Successful Applicants' must possess a current full valid UK driving licence. Ideally, this should also be clean.

Training & Trade-Qualifications

Typically, the first four to six weeks of employment will be spent undertaking induction and training. This typically consists of a combination of two or more of the following:
  • in-house classroom-environment training & induction;
  • accompanied 'in the field' training; and
  • trade-association provided training and examination.

Potentially, the training can be anywhere in Great Britain. Most often, it usually consists of a mix of a couple of weeks near one of our regional centres, four-to-five days attending a trade association course/exam, with the remainder of the time spent in the employees' own patch.

The training given will be intended to lead to the candidate passing one of the trade-specific accredited professional examinations, a requirement for the position.

The successful candidate, having satisfactorily completed the above first stages of training, will then be able to perform the job unaccompanied. Needless to say, we provide a layer of support and are always on hand in these early stages. This together with our stringent quality control regime helps ensure our staff work to the highest standards right from the outset.

Beyond this, further training is also provided on an ad-hoc basis with a view of further refining the successful candidates' performance and introducing and familiarising them to our other products and services.

Additionally, in accordance with the requirements of our various accreditations, we also provide periodic refresher training and examination. As with the initial qualification, the ongoing passing of such refresher examinations is also a requirement for the position.

Remuneration & Holidays

The package offered is amongst the best in the trade for successful engineers.

The package is formed by a basic salary that is supplemented by commission. Successful candidates should relish the opportunities of such a salary structure.

On top of this, there is also entitlement to enter into further reward schemes upon completion of approximately twelve months service.

Holiday entitlement starts at 20 days per annum and increases to 30 days with length of service. Holiday entitlement is in addition to Bank Holidays.

Company Vehicle

A fully funded company van is provided.
