Fuel Express specialise in the nationwide distribution of pre-packed domestic fuel, barbecue charcoal, gas and a full range of ancillary products to national and independent forecourts and convenience stores all year-round.

We also supply products direct to retailer RDC’s and the range of products is available through Supermarkets, DIY stores, Wholesalers, Garden Centre's, Petrol Forecourts and Convenience Retail outlets.

We currently have several sales managers on the road traveling around the 1700 sites we supply across the UK. Due to the effectiveness and impact of these visits we have decided to take on another member of staff.

The area that will be required for you to manage would be the south west. This area will cover areas such as Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Somerset essentially being the whole south west of the country.

Your routes will be roughly mapped out for you and you will have around 5-8 site visits per day. During these site visits you will be going through a checklist to ensure the quality of our products and service, the compliance of the sites and the overall performance of that site to ensure maximum sales are achieved.

Due to the spread of our sites a lot of the time you will be required to stay in hotels, you will be given your route every Friday for the following week. You will then judge where will be best to stay and book your own hotel. We provide the allowance for the hotel and an evening meal. Each evening you will be expected to summarise your daily findings from your site visits and send to the necessary person.

The initial role will be on a 3 month trial basis for your own benefit, we have hired people in the past that think staying away is for them but when it comes down to it its a lot different and not what they are looking for. During these 3 months you will be provided with a company vehicle and all travel expenses will be paid for.

If we are happy with your performance and you are enjoying the job you will be offered a full time position with a long term rolling contract. At this point you will be entitled to sick pay and holiday pay. You will also get to choose a brand new company car of your choice up to our chosen value.

We are looking for an honest, hard working person that genuinely wants to work hard and contribute to the success of our company. We want someone that has had a manager role previously and ideally someone that has had to oversea multiple locations. Clean full UK drivers licence is obviously an obligation, no education qualifications necessary but they will be taken into consideration.
