Helping you find a career in the builders' merchant industry
Builders' merchants organise, prepare and sell building supplies and DIY equipment both to professional builders and the general public. The role involves developing a good working knowledge of the products offered and their prices as well as developing and honing customer service skills. You'll deal regularly with builders, roofers, electricians and other tradesmen as well as DIY enthusiasts, so you'll need to be good at dealing with customers.
