We are Travis Perkins.
Leading our industry for over two centuries, we've built our early foundations into a nationwide business that gives customers the products they need, with the smile they deserve. We’re proudly part of Travis Perkins plc., the UK’s largest distributor of building materials, providing unrivalled customer service from over 1,400 branches across the UK.
What’s it like to be an Assistant Branch Manager Designate?
As an Assistant Branch Manager Designate, you will enjoy a dynamic role that offers exposure across our Bristol, North Somerset, Cirencester, and Chepstow region. Rather than being based at a single location, you will deploy your expertise across various branches within the patch where required, supporting day-to-day operations and leading local teams to achieve excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
- Drive Results: You'll bring a strong sales presence to drive daily activity, maximise profitability, and smash targets across the region's branches.
- Build Relationships: As part of the regional management support network, you’ll drive high standards and foster fantastic customer relationships at every location you support.
- Lead with Confidence: You’ll be a confident people leader, capable of motivating, adaptable to different team dynamics, and passionate about coaching colleagues to achieve their full potential.
- Manage Operations: You’ll ensure branch operations run smoothly and efficiently, including managing a fleet of vehicles, tool hire departments, and integrated Benchmarx showrooms.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements:
- Mobility is Key: Because this role requires you to work flexibly across multiple branches in the region, you must be a confident car driver with a full UK licence.
- Leadership Experience: You have relevant management experience and know how to motivate and develop diverse teams to succeed.
- Commercial Acumen: You possess strong people skills, vital for building rapid rapport, negotiating successfully, and driving branch sales.
- Highly Organised: You can adapt quickly to changing environments, prioritising tasks with excellent attention to detail.
- Safety First: You champion a non-negotiable safety culture and always prioritise the wellbeing of your team and customers.
- Industry Background: Relevant trade or merchant experience will help you embed quickly. However, if you're a successful, adaptable sales leader from a different customer-centric industry, we'd love to hear from you!
