A few pointers for applicants, tailored to this role

Lead with your two-plus years of face-to-face B2B sales in a similar field, and highlight any concrete growth you’ve driven in commercial or civil accounts at the top of your resume so it lands quickly.

When you describe your must-have skills, back them with numbers and outcomes, demonstrate how you built relationships, expanded portfolios, and met or exceeded revenue targets, and mention your tech tools or CRM experience if relevant.

For interviews, be ready to talk through how you hunt for new opportunities, manage multiple accounts, and navigate a fast-paced environment. Have a concrete story ready about a time you won new business or grew an account in a similar sector.

Consider asking about the tools used to manage the customer database and how collaboration works across branches, for example: what CRM system is in play and how the team coordinates on larger commercial or civil projects.
