Are you an outgoing and driven person with customer service or sales manager experience looking to develop your career further? Are you ready to step into a new role within the company where you will be regionally based initially before moving into your own branch? We are Travis Perkins, the UK’s largest builders merchant and we have an exciting (and very rare) opportunity for someone to join our Hire team in a designate role, someone who has the resilience, sales focus and confidence to work in different locations and who wants to be a Hire Manager within our business. You do not need sector knowledge, we will ensure your product knowledge training is first class.
Where will you be working?
The role of the Hire Manager Designate is one of the most challenging yet rewarding positions in our business, and this is no exception, as this role will require you to move between branches, perhaps Stoke, Leek, Stafford and Crewe but it could be anywhere within our region. The hire teams could be between 2 and 5 employees, but you will find yourself working in TP branches where there could be up to 50 colleagues. Our branches, in addition to the Hire department will have TP sales and yard teams and possibly Benchmarx kitchens and regional offices attached to them. You won’t have one fixed base in the early days, you will be working across the region but eventually our aim is to find you your own Hire branch, where you can then grow and develop your own business/team.
Working hours are Mon-Fri 7.30am - 5.00pm, Saturdays 8.00am - 12.00pm which, as a senior team member, are on a rota basis.
What’s in it for you?
If career development is important for you then your future career path could lead you into a regional role. This role will provide plenty of opportunity for future success and recognition. Remember we do not seek previous hire experience, we can teach you this.
In return for your hard work you will receive the following:
myMoney - competitive salary/annual leave, contributory pension scheme plus other benefits including bonus, private medical insurance, Life Insurance, ShareScheme and mortgage advice
myColleagueDiscount - savings across the TP Group including tool hire and ToolStation
myHealth - Aviva DigiCare, Cycle to Work, access to our online Wellbeing Centre plus more
myLife - myCar options (NovaLease/MotivaDirect), legal services advice
myInfoHub - access to our new learning platform, apprenticeship opportunities, StayWell hub. We have a number recognised Management Apprentice programs to support your development, including our level 5 Management program to support you further in your career
PLUS a huge array of everyday savings via our employee discount programme and family friendly HR policies
What will you be doing?
Your focus will be to manage all aspects of running the Hire operations and team. You will develop and execute a local sales action plan, whilst striving to exceed sales and revenue targets.
You will develop strong relationships with our customers to build trust and create returning business.
You will create strong relationships with your team and customers and understand the importance of coaching and developing sales whilst maintaining a strong operation
You will establish and maintain the correct stock levels to maintain optimum equipment utilisation to meet customer demands.
Does this sound like you?
The successful candidate will already be supporting/managing a team, will have strong customer service/sales experience and will bring a confident, personable attitude. We are looking for transferable skills of Inspirational Leadership, Operational Management, Sales, Great Customer Service and Commercial Acumen. These align against our values: We Care, We Give our Best to be the Best and We’re Better Together.
Are you:
A passionate, inspirational and engaging leader, able to delegate successfully and empower colleagues to take accountability and lead the branch hire team, creating and cultivating that “one team” approach?
Highly adaptable, resilient and tenacious with high levels of energy and drive?
Someone who thrives in a dynamic and fast paced environment, with an entrepreneurial spirit?
