WHO WE ARE

We’re Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery, part of the Travis Perkins family since 2006. We’re all about delivering stylish, high-quality kitchens that cater to all tastes and budgets. With over 150 branches and showrooms, we offer top-tier appliances, worktops, and joinery from leading brands.
We work closely with installers to design and deliver ready-assembled kitchens that truly inspire our customers. We’re a team that values collaboration, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and we’re always looking for passionate people to join us on our journey.

WHO YOU ARE

You’ll need to be:

• No Industry Experience Needed: We’re looking for transferable skills, a passion for delivering outstanding customer service, and a drive to exceed sales targets.
• Methodical & Tenacious: You’ll be detail-oriented, organised, and determined to achieve results, with a strong focus on planning and execution.
• Excellent Communicator: With great communication skills, you can connect with a diverse range of individuals, from homeowners to tradespeople.
• Sales: You’ll need to have some previous sales experience. This role offers a basic salary with the opportunity to earn commission. Success will come through making customers feel valued, providing excellent service, and building long-lasting relationships.
• You also will need a full valid driving licence.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

As a Kitchen Designer, you’ll bring creativity and a customer-first mindset to deliver stunning kitchen designs for both Trade Customers and Homeowners. You’ll use CAD to create custom plans, drive sales by maximising add-ons, and manage your quote bank to meet targets. Building strong, long-term relationships with customers is key to your success. Don’t worry if you don’t have experience in the sector — we’ll provide all the training and development you need. Our most successful Kitchen Designers come from a variety of backgrounds, but they all excel at delivering an exceptional customer experience. If you’re passionate about design and sales, we’ll help you succeed!

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

• Designing for Traders and Homeowners: Using your newly gained product knowledge and design skills, you’ll create bespoke kitchen designs that meet customer needs and exceed their expectations.
• Building Lasting Relationships: You’ll get to know customers on a first-name basis, developing strong, long-term connections by delivering top-notch service and support.
• Working with Homeowners: You’ll produce accurate kitchen plans and quotes, truly understanding their project to design their ‘perfect’ kitchen while keeping Trade Customers updated throughout the process.
• Creative Flair & CAD Expertise: Using CAD, you’ll design dream kitchens that reflect the customer’s vision, asking the right questions to tailor the solution to their needs.
• Networking & Collaboration: Building a strong customer base to meet targets, you’ll also work closely with the external Sales Rep to ensure customer requirements are met.
• 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 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.
