Are you operationally focused, like working in a team, and have a thirst for learning and a long-term career? We are recruiting for a Branch Operations Manager at our Keyline branch in Stoke on Trent.
Keyline, part of the Travis Perkins Group, is the UK's leading supplier of civils, drainage, and heavy building materials. Our branch in Stoke on Trent is a team you will be directly responsible for.
Working hours will be Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 5:00pm. Our customers don't work weekends, so neither do we!
What's in it for you?
1. Competitive salary plus an annual bonus
2. Contributory pension, private healthcare, life assurance, and a sharesave scheme
3. Group-wide colleague discounts across the Travis Perkins Group, including Toolstation
4. Access to a number of online discounts at leading retailers for everything from airport parking to theme parks, dining out, and cinemas
5. Great family-friendly policies
What will I be doing?
No two days are the same in a Keyline branch, but here are a few pointers:
6. Stay Safe: You will set the tone and champion a Stay Safe culture across the branch at all times, promoting a healthy workplace and colleague well-being.
7. Operations: You will manage the full operation of the branch, including the warehouse, yard, and transport. You'll ensure that adequate provision is made for customer deliveries and that branch standards for safety, storage efficiency, and housekeeping are kept up to date.
8. People: You will lead, motivate, and engage your teams to work together as one. You will also take accountability for the success of the branch, ensuring that succession planning is being used to drive talent sustainability and coaching and mentoring direct reports and management apprentices as required.
What experience do you need?
Previous experience within a builders’ merchant or civils is advantageous but not essential. It doesn't matter what sector you come from, we just need transferable skills such as leadership, operational management, health and safety, and great customer service.
