Full Job Description

Joining our friendly and hard working family as a Yard Customer Assistant, you'll be on the front line dealing with our customers that come into our yard. As part of the branch team, you will play a vital role in our continued success, providing a first class service.
What will I be doing?
Not one day is the same as the next in TP branch life, but here are a few pointers:

  • Our success is built on strong relationships with our customers so it's essential that you can help deliver the highest standards of service - the key thing is to be helpful and friendly at all times, you will likely get to know our customers on a first name basis.

  • You will be based outside, processing our customer orders, loading and unloading customer and company vehicles.

  • You will also unload our building products from supplier deliveries and accurately book them in the branch warehouse.

  • Full training is provided in order to drive our forklifts.

  • Safety is at the forefront of everything we do, your aim will be to ensure that our standards never slip, this means maintaining a tidy and safe working environment.


  • This role is based in our Travis Perkins Wolverhampton branch, this is a growing team where you are really made to feel at home. This is a flagship branch in a very established position within their area. With this branch winning branch of the year, 4 times. They are also one of the biggest branches within our Midlands area. However, don't let that put you off, with great staff and customer base it will be the perfect branch to start your career with us. With a team that all gets stuck in and help each other out when in busier periods. This is an opportunity for someone with little to no experience to get their teeth stuck in and develop a long lasting career with us. The team which is soon to be 36, will take you under their wing along with Mark the branch manager, to really give you the best development opportunities. They have a full tool hire with 4 staff members, 4 HGV wagons and a tool hire van deliveries are always flying out. We are looking for someone to
    bring confidence and customer service skills to be the front of our business working on the counter.

    My name is Natalie, and I currently work as part of the recruitment team here at Travis Perkins, but I started of my career in my local branch when I was 18 completing a development programme, which I then became a Branch Supervisor Let me tell you more about us, and why you should consider a career with our brilliant business.
    Let's be honest, no one grows up with a burning passion to work in a builders merchant (well, I know I certainly didn't!). I didn't really know what to expect, but since joining, I have been supported by an amazing team that have an unrivalled passion to provide an excellent level of service to our local customers (typically builders and tradespeople) and I'm now working in a completely different area of the business in an area that I love.
    I hope that you're as excited about this role as I am, and that my first hand experience has provided a small insight into what we do here. Apply today, you won't regret it!
    We're driving to become a truly inclusive employer. We want everyone to be at their best and it's our ambition that everyone within our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves.
