By doing so, you will contribute to the growth and maximisation of the fleet potential of the combined CBS Sales Team.

The salary banding for this role is between £38,000 - £40,000 per annum. The working hours are 35 hours per week, from Monday to Friday.

The role will be field-based. You will work from home and travel to customer appointments when required, with occasional travel to Head Office in Bury, Greater Manchester. Ideally, you'll be based somewhere close to the South of England. As we have a comprehensive induction plan, the expectation of office attendance in the first month will be greater.
