Job Description

Graduate Commercial Trainee - Southampton

Industry leading sales, commercial, and management training

Opportunities to progress into roles including field sales

29,000 - 31,000 basic salary with bonus on top

The company:

One of the largest and most established technical sales and distribution companies in the UK specialising in HVAC, Electrical and Process Controls and Automation to regulate and monitor commerce and industry. Providing the highest quality products from the world's best manufacturers and dedication to customer service is at the forefront of their business. Becoming part of a wider commercial group that enjoys turnover of over 1.3 Billion per year, the successful candidate will receive industry leading internal and external training to form the building blocks for their career.

The Package:

29,000 - 31,000 basic salary

Annual profit share bonus

25 days holiday + Bank Holidays

Thorough training tailored to the individual

The opportunity to establish a career with a well-renowned business

The role:

Based within their Southampton office your role as a Commercial Trainee would initially see you learn all aspects of the business. You will go on a development journey in the role, with your first month based on training and development within various departments. After this time, you will be introduced to your sales targets - representing the company and their full range of products. Dealing with customers from a wide variety of industries, you will receive progression opportunities to move into field sales within the first two years of the role.

As a Graduate Commercial Trainee, who are you?

  • You want to kick start your career in sales
  • You are coachable: You are not expected to start with all the answers. You will be trained and put in a position to succeed. We just need you to be open to trying new (and potentially uncomfortable at first) things and you will be taught along the way.
  • You have an abundance of natural curiosity: Always asking why, you are an intellectually curious life-long learner who looks to continuously improve.
  • You are a compassionate competitor: You want to win, but not at the expense of your team. There may be no "I" in "team", but you understand that your individual performance is important, and you will compete to be a top contributor to the overall team's success.
