How will I add value in this role?

In this role you will be responsible for developing and maintaining business relationships with customers in the laundry sector across London, by providing clients with excellent technical support concerning Diversey's chemical products. You will travel to customer sites (major large central London hotels and laundries) to monitor their usage of our laundry chemical products, ensuring they are applied correctly. You will be on-hand to provide consultation and regularly train in the use of professional detergents and dispensing equipment. You will also support Sales colleagues to give appropriate advice on product and equipment selection.

This is a hands-on position that will require practical work on-site at clients' facilities, such as setting up optimal economical washing programs, or actively supporting with technical matters like problems with the quality of washing, or the implementation of new laundry technologies. To do so, you will apply your prior background knowledge of chemistry or of the laundry industry, but you will also be trained about our products and services, and supported as you take your first steps into this role.

By providing high-quality expertise and support to our clients you will ultimately play a key role in Diversey’s market development in the London area.
