Sales

We have over 900 Sales colleagues spread across our 35 brands in the UK and Ireland, ranging from Sales Executives and Showroom Assistants to Technical Sales Managers. Our Sales teams support a variety of customers over many different industries; new buildings and renovation, automotive and transport, and civil engineering to name a few.

As a Sales colleague you’ll work to build relationships with our customers to understand their requirements and help them with the products and solutions they need for their project. You’ll continuously be looking to identify new opportunities to support customers with our expertise, high-performing products and bespoke solutions.

Our customer base ranges from national businesses to SME’s and we sell a variety of products and solutions from high performing glass to plasterboard, insulation and generalist building materials. Our Sales teams work across a variety of locations, with some colleagues based on site in our branches and others working remotely or from our offices across the UK and Ireland. The huge amount of variety in the Sales profession at Saint-Gobain lends itself to a vast amount of opportunity for career progression and mobility, whether you’d like to progress within the same Saint-Gobain brand or try your hand at a new sector through one of our other brands.

EMBRACING DIVERSITY

We’re continuously working to become a more diverse and inclusive employer. We believe that diversity fosters innovation, helping our teams to operate productively and make better decisions, as well as creating a more enjoyable work environment for our employees.

We already employ many fantastic people from diverse backgrounds, but still want to do more. We’re keen to hire talented people regardless of their background, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, taste in music, fashion sense, or anything else that makes you, you.

MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER HOME

Our Sales colleagues help us to drive our purpose forward by providing high performing materials and solutions to our customers to improve the energy-efficiency of buildings, increase the comfort of homes and transport, and contribute to more sustainable supply chains. They help to make our customer’s world a better home by providing outstanding service to help our customers get the products and solutions they need to meet the unique requirements of their projects.

They also help to make the world a better home for our colleagues by creating an inclusive and open environment where everybody feels comfortable and able to be their best self at work.

I am part of the Technical Sales team which specifies plasterboard and plaster systems in large projects. I work with design teams, architects, main contractors and subcontractors to find solutions to meet their requirements in terms of fire, acoustics, thermal and structural performance. Because we are customer facing, it is important not only to capture customer feedback and market insight, but to also bring the businesses new products and systems to the market. A typical day involves meeting customers or working on specifications to detailing and assisting specifiers with technical queries.
