• Helping maintain vehicles, pre‐shift checks, and branch infrastructure.
• Leading by example and supporting a motivated, service‐driven team.
• Assisting in identifying growth opportunities and responding to competitor activity.
• Being hands‐on and flexible—whether in the sales office, in the yard, or admin support.

What you'll bring:

• Sales or customer service experience, ideally in the construction or building materials sector.
• Good understanding of construction accessories products (preferred but not essential).
• Team leadership experience or supervisory capability.
• Strong communication and IT skills (Microsoft Office, databases).
