Building Materials Nationwide Ltd is more than your standard online shop, we are purchasing partners. We want to be known for offering an account service unlike any other in the industry, taking the hassle, pressure and stress out of ordering materials, and generating customers who grow with us.

We don't focus on the products we sell but on the people that sell them.

An ethos close to our heart is "people buy from people", and we are looking to put you front and centre of our drive forward.

This has created an environment that employees say they have honestly never worked in before.

The knock-on effect is we have experienced growth year-after-year despite the recent downturn post-Covid.

As our Development department continues to grow, we are committed to investing in our people through structured training, ongoing coaching and clear career progression, giving every team member the opportunity to develop and succeed.

We cater for our vibrant and diverse team by providing access to facilities such as our canteen and chill out area, PlayStation 5 and pool table.

• Proactively contacting warm leads and new trade account sign-ups to generate opportunities and assess potential value.

• Building relationships with customers to understand their business and future opportunities.
• Collaborating closely with Trade Account Managers to maximise account growth and provide a seamless customer journey.

• Receiving regular coaching, feedback and performance reviews against targets and KPIs.
• Progressing through our structured Development Programme and progression pathway.

Working Hours: 8am – 5pm, Monday to Friday.
