Every day is different at Travis Perkins, but here's what you can expect:

Strong customer relationships are key to our success, both in person and by phone. You'll deliver the highest service standards, understanding and meeting your customers' current and future needs before sending them on their way with a smile.
We keep safety at the heart of everything we do. Maintaining high standards across our working environment keeps everybody safe and happy all day, every day.
Working alongside our partnered businesses, our combined product range means there are always more materials, tools, or services to offer our customers. Understanding and promoting additional products will see you succeed.

Do you provide a best-in-class sales experience through positive and purposeful interactions that leave a lasting impression?
Can you self-motivate, multi-task and stay organised in adaptable, fast-paced environments?
You don't need to be an expert in building materials and tooling, we'll support you to learn this on the job!
Are you a team player who is comfortable to step outside of your role to support colleagues across the wider branch?
