Are you an experienced Retail Supervisor/Manager looking for your next challenge? If you have a strong background in fast-paced retail, a natural talent for leading teams, and a genuine interest in the building and construction sector, this is the perfect opportunity to transition your skills into a highly rewarding, dynamic industry.

As Assistant Branch Manager, you will partner with the Branch Manager to run daily operations, oversee our bustling retail department, and lead a motivated team. We don’t just sell building materials. If you are ready to trade late-night retail hours for a structured, trade-focused environment, we want to hear from you!

• Be fully competent across all branch support activities (tills, goods inwards, and ordering) to step in and lead by example when needed.

Requirements

• Strong Retail Background: You know what makes a retail department tick. You understand merchandising, customer service excellence, and commercial KPI targets.

• Proven People Leadership: Experience supervising, motivating, and developing a team in a busy retail or commercial environment.
