Metro Rod work with the likes of Equans, Amey, Aldi, Mitie, Greggs, McDonalds, Wetherspoons and many more in the FM, Social Housing, Property Management, Retail, Industrial and Leisure sectors. Despite having been around for over 40 years, we are a fast-growing and dynamic business and part of an ever-expanding group Franchise Brands.

Founded in 1983, Metro Rod and its sister company Metro Plumb are leading providers of drain clearance and maintenance services delivered on a largely reactive basis. The services are provided by over 60 franchisees with geographical coverage across the UK. We’ve been clearing and unblocking drains for more than thirty years and we’re proud of our reputation for quality service and customer satisfaction. Major companies and leading high street names trust us to deal with all their regular drain maintenance and we’ll bring the same high standards of service to tackle your drain blockage.

Within the Waste & Water Services Division of Franchise Brands, is also Willow Pumps and Filta. Two expanding businesses that focus on sewage pumps and commercial kitchen solutions. Together, the brands provide a complete one-stop shop for keeping water and waste flowing.

What does it entail?

We are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic and adaptable individual to join our sales team here at Metro Rod Support Centre. This is a desk- based sales position that requires minimal sales experience. What we do require is the right attitude and the will to succeed – we can teach you the rest!

Working alongside our prestigious National Accounts Team, you will be responsible for bringing in new business as well as managing existing customer relationships – all focused around small-medium size customer accounts.

You should therefore have a strong understanding of all round MS Office to an intermediate/advanced level and be confident on the phone receiving and making calls.

You will contribute towards an overall annual team target alongside the wider sales team figures. There will also be a focus on supporting our Franchise Network with achieving their sales targets locally and nationally.

Lots of development and progression available!
