Marshalls plc is the UK’s leading hard landscaping, building and roofing products supplier and has supplied some of the most prestigious landmarks in the UK since the 1890s. We’ve held a Superbrand status since 2010. Every step we take and every product we make, is geared towards making the world around us a better place to live.
We have an unrivalled offering of products, a respected brand, and a successful sales team! It’s within this passionate team at Marshalls, that we’re recruiting for a Key Contractor Manager.
The Mission
Reporting directly to the Regional Trading Director, the KCM will deliver the National Commercial strategy for Main Contractor, Housebuilder key accounts and respective associated design teams and partners. The KCM will proactively develop profitable commercial business opportunities for Marshalls by strategically focusing on defined Key Housebuilder and Contractor accounts, to create demand and drive specification of Marshalls products and systems and to maximise the profitability of Marshalls Plc by achieving the most desirable blend of price, volume and mix of products sold.
The Job Details
Are you a proactive problem-solver with a knack for building strong relationships? We're seeking a dynamic Key Contractor Manager to join our team. In this role, you'll be instrumental in developing our business, managing our preferred supplier relationships, and engaging with key decision-makers at a regional level.
You’ll take the lead on engaging with our head office, including the pre-construction and design teams, to identify and understand the main projects in the region. Using your expertise with Barbour ABI, you'll stay ahead of the curve, tracking project progress and ensuring our shared documents are always up-to-date. Your ability to get in early with project teams and specification managers will be crucial to success. If you're a strategic thinker ready to drive growth, we want to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
