We are looking for future Branch Managers, so if you are willing to learn every aspect of branch life as an Tool Hire Manager, are hard working and ambitious, we would love to hear from you. 


Where will you be working?


BSS is a supplier of pipeline, process, heating and mechanical services equipment; our customers range from large national contractors (the projects we support make us very proud!) to small, local independents, our customers are varied and so are our jobs. Our Aberdeen branch employs 10 staff and runs 3 delivery vehicles, they also won Branch of the Year in 2022 so it’s a fantastic team to join! Our Branch Manager has created a dynamic, fast paced and lively environment, this role forms part of their senior team, you will have great support around you from day one in a hard working environment.


Hours - Monday to Thursday 7.30am - 5.00pm, Friday 7.30am - 4.00pm, no weekends!


 What’s in it for you?

  • A very competitive salary and annual bonus

  • Generous annual leave

  • Career development, family friendly policies and a wealth of finance and wellbeing support

  • Great discounts across the Travis Perkins Group businesses, including Toolstation.  We also have a huge variety of online discounts at leading retailers and leisure providers. 

What will I be doing?


No one day is the same as the next in BSS branch life, you will learn our business and our products with our training and guidance and you will be responsible for fully supporting the Branch Manager and all elements of the operation, in essence, an all rounder is required! You will work alongside the Branch Manager, jumping into branch roles when things are busy, you will support all safety and audit requirements in the branch, be aware of targets and budgets, deliver exceptional service to our customers and be an ambassador for our branch and our BSS brand. When the Branch Manager is off site, you will step up with confidence to manage the full operation.  


What experience do you need?

This is a varied, challenging yet highly rewarding position. You will bring previous team leadership/coaching experience gained in a busy sales/customer facing environment, ideally this experience will come from a merchanting or tool hire background. You are already a good operational manager looking for a step into a bigger space.  You will pride yourself on being an empathetic manager of others, you will be confident in your abilities as a leader but will relish the times talking to customers, winning business and driving performance. Drive, confidence, enthusiasm  and passion  are sought, we can teach you about the products/sector.


Becoming an Tool Hire Manager in BSS will give you a fantastic opportunity to excel and to continue to develop your career, if you choose.  


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.
