Who we are

We’re Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery, part of the Travis Perkins group since 2006. We’re all about delivering stylish, high-quality kitchens via the tradesperson that cater to all tastes and budgets. With over 150 branches and showrooms, we offer top-tier appliances, worktops, and joinery from leading brands.


What you’ll be doing

As a Kitchen Sales Designer, success comes from truly understanding what customers want, and converting that into sales. You'll take time to listen, showcase what we can offer, and confidently guide them through their entire journey with expertise and care. 

This role is about building trust, collaborating with colleagues, closing deals, and delivering results; while creating kitchens using CAD software that customers will love for years to come.


What’s in it for you?

  • Competitive starting salary plus uncapped commission based on individual performance, meaning our high performers can become top earners!
  • Sociable working hours. We do not work retail hours, you will work 8am to 12pm and every other Saturday morning.
  • Save-as-you-earn & Buy-as-you-earn schemes, a generous pension scheme where contributions increase with service, colleague discounts for our brands and MyPerks discounts at top retailers, restaurants, and more! 
  • Market-leading induction and onboarding, including CAD training, product knowledge support and acquiring those key sales & service skills to help you succeed.
  • If you wish to continue to learn we offer a number of role specific and management apprenticeships with study time built into your working week.
  • Fantastic support network through 1:1 coaching, mentoring, and ongoing technical and skills training to progress your career.
  • Wellbeing support to keep you feeling at your best.


What you’ll be responsible for

  • Driving and delivering profitable sales and fantastic customer service. You’ll get to know trade customers and homeowners on a first-name basis, developing strong, long-term connections.
  • Building a strong customer base to meet targets, you’ll also work closely with Travis Perkins Colleagues - Including Field Sales, to help you and our customers win!
  • Using your product knowledge and design skills, you’ll create bespoke kitchen designs that meet customer needs and exceed their expectations. 
  • Through your excellent communication & interpersonal skills, you’ll engage with both the trade customer and the homeowner to truly understand their project in order to exceed expectations and maximise sales.
  • On-Site Visits - not all customers will come to the branch, so you’ll visit homes or building sites to create inspirational designs on CAD back at the branch and present them to clients.
  • Safety First: Safety is key, so you’ll ensure colleagues and customers leave the showroom safely by following all safety policies and procedures.


You’ll need:

  • You will need a full valid UK driving licence with business insurance. 
  • Demonstrated capability to achieve and outperform sales and profit targets, supported by strong delivery against role specific KPI’s.
  • You’ll be detail-oriented, organised, and determined to achieve results, with a strong focus on planning and execution.
  • With great communication skills, you can connect with a diverse range of individuals, from homeowners to tradespeople.
  • Your approachable, positive personality will shine through, making customers feel valued and building lasting relationships. You’ll have customer facing confidence, which means you won’t be afraid to hold financial conversations or ask for the sale.
  • No Industry Experience Needed: We're looking for transferable skills, a passion for driving profitable sales and delivering outstanding customer service.
