Overview

Groundforce Area Managers play a pivotal role not only in the level of service we offer but also in maintaining, managing and growing our customer portfolio. As an Area Manager no two days are the same. You’ll spend most of your time visiting our customers wherever they’re busy working to find out how we can help them, demonstrating Groundforce solutions.

Covering Scotland, it’s far from traditional cold calling (although we’re not afraid of that), it’s about nurturing and fostering relationships, developing contacts on site with customers and helping them find the most innovative and cost-efficient solutions for their needs.

You’ll be happy getting your hands dirty but also adaptable in your approach to the customer in front of you as it could be a senior management team one day to a site manager the next, finding yourself on construction sites or in offices and warehouses. This means rolling your sleeves up and demonstrating some of the most pioneering products and solutions in the industry, along with all the services and after-care that come with Groundforce.
