Person

The most important thing for my client is the candidate’s attitude, you need to be hungry, driven, tenacious, enthusiastic, engaging, energetic & organised. My client likes down to earth personalities who can think outside the box. You need to be a chameleon who is able to build rapport with a consulting engineer one minute & a contactor the next. They are very open on construction products experience but having a link to Civils or Electrical would be beneficial.  If you come from a hands on site background and you have progressed into sales that is also a big advantage. They are all a close knit team with no ego’s so you need to be a team player who is still very much on the way up in your career.
