Are you seeking a role providing a first-class service whilst ensuring the safe and efficient running of our yard.
In this Yard Manager/Supervisor role you will be responsible for leading and inspiring our yard team who are on the front line dealing with our customers that come into our yard. Health & Safety will be your primary focus every day while always building long-lasting relationships and going above and beyond to provide a great service to our customers. We are Travis Perkins, the UK's largest builders merchant and this role may be perfect for you.
The Branch
You will be working alongside some great individuals at our branch where we have a fantastic dedicated team.
- Your working hours will be Monday to Friday 0730-1700 and alternate Saturdays 0800-1200.
- You don’t need an in-depth knowledge of builders merchants to join the team, as there will be plenty of coaching and training to get you up to speed, we’ll give you the confidence to deliver the exceptional service we expect. However, experience managing/supervising/coaching a team is a requirement and a background in a yard or warehouse is extremely advantageous.
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.
