This vacancy is for a six month contract/secondment.


We are Keyline - the UK’s number one supplier of civils, drainage and heavy building materials solutions. As part of the Travis Perkins group, our branch network aims to be the “Best in Town” for product knowledge, availability and customer service. As a nationwide business, high-performance benchmarks are regularly set - and regularly beaten. We give our best, to be the best. Pushing ourselves to be bold in the pursuit of innovative solutions that can drive customer experience, profitability, and employee satisfaction. We share our knowledge, understanding that we are better when we come together and embrace what makes us, us. But primarily, we care. We care for our customers. We care for our colleagues. And we care for you - our applicants.

We are now welcoming applications for an experienced, motivated, and passionate Branch Manager to lead Keyline Braintree (Essex) on a six-month contract.



What you will do

Reporting to the Regional Director, you will be a hands-on leader for Keyline Braintree on a six-month interim basis.

As a visible leader, you'll coach, motivate, inspire, and develop your team of 20 to drive culture and provide stability during this interim period. You'll look to identify opportunities to improve, enhance, and maximise profitability (within c£10m turnover) throughout the 2-acre branch and 5 vehicles. First and foremost however, you should be comfortable with the day-to-day management of a successful branch and a high-performing team, to ensure a comfortable continuity across this branch as part of the wider Keyline network.

Keyline Braintree will shortly undertake a £500k development project, upgrading the welfare facilities to support our drive for a safe and happy workplace culture.


Who you are

  • An ambitious, proactive,  but team-focused leader - able to inspire and motivate teams to drive high performance
  • A self-motivated achiever - mindful of targets, conscious of waste, and pursuing perfection
  • A collaborative teamworker - sharing responsibility and recognition to develop your people
  • An agile professional - able to land into the branch seamlessly and promptly embed into the team


Do you have what it takes?

  • A confident leader with great communication and interpersonal skills to motivate teams.
  • Meticulously organised with exceptional time management skills.
  • Proven experience in optimising branch operations by improving performance and sales whilst effectively controlling costs.
  • Strong commercial awareness and the ability to interpret information to support proposals.
  • Prior experience within branch management (or assistant management) is essential.



We’re driving to become a truly inclusive employer. We want everyone to be at their best and it’s our ambition that everyone within our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves. 

You be you, it makes us, us.
