About Roundtower Lime
Roundtower Lime is a specialist supplier of premium materials for the conservation, restoration and sustainable construction sectors. Our product range includes lime mortars and renders, natural and breathable insulation systems, mineral paints, insulating plasters and other high-performance materials for traditional and sustainable buildings.
We work closely with homeowners, contractors, builders’ merchants and conservation professionals, providing high-quality products together with practical technical advice.
The Role
We are seeking a motivated and commercially focused Technical Sales Executive to join our team.
This is a varied, customer-facing position combining office-based sales and technical support with regular visits to customers, construction sites and prospective projects.
A key focus of the role will be growing Roundtower Lime’s presence in the Dublin market. The successful candidate will spend part of their time developing new business and supporting existing customers in Dublin, while also working from our Innishannon office and covering other areas as required.
The role would suit someone who enjoys building relationships, developing new business and helping customers select appropriate materials for conservation, restoration and sustainable construction projects.
Previous experience in the construction or building materials industry would be an advantage, but it is not essential, as full product training will be provided.
Key Responsibilities

- Work closely with Roundtower Lime’s technical, warehouse and management teams to provide a high standard of customer service.
- Monitor market activity and identify new opportunities within the conservation and sustainable construction sectors.
- Represent Roundtower Lime at trade events, exhibitions and industry meetings when required.
Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate will be confident, organised and comfortable communicating with a wide range of customers and construction professionals.
They should have a professional and customer-focused approach, strong communication skills and an interest in traditional buildings, conservation and sustainable construction.
The successful candidate must be comfortable working independently, travelling regularly and developing new customer relationships. A full, clean driving licence is required.
