Yard Sales Assistant

Job description

Yard Customer Assistant

Location: Travis Perkins Mansfield (NG18 5GJ)

Who We Are

At Travis Perkins, we’ve been leading the building materials industry for over two centuries. As part of Travis Perkins plc, the UK’s largest distributor of building materials with over 1,400 branches, we pride ourselves on giving our customers the products they need with the top-tier service they deserve. Despite our size, we maintain the warm values of a family-run business.

What’s it like to be a Yard Assistant?

No two days are the same in branch life, but you will be the heartbeat of our outdoor yard. Working closely with a supportive team, your main responsibilities will include:

• Customer Service: Greeting local tradespeople and DIYers, processing their orders, and building great first-name relationships.
• Yard Operations: Safely loading and unloading customer pickups, delivery trucks, and supplier vehicles outdoors.
• Stock Management: Unloading incoming building products and accurately booking them into our branch warehouse.
• Forklift Operations: Driving a forklift to move heavy materials (don’t worry if you don’t have a licence yet—we provide full training!).
• Safety First: Keeping the yard tidy, organized, and safe for your colleagues and customers.

What skills do you need?

Yard experience is a great advantage, but it isn’t essential. We are looking for the right attitude—we can teach you the rest! To be successful, you will need:

A Full UK Drivers Licence and a realistic commute to the Mansfield branch.

A positive, enthusiastic attitude and a willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment.

High energy and the physical confidence to safely handle heavy, bulky building materials.

Great communication skills and a friendly, resilient personality.

What’s in it for you?

We achieve together, so we reward together. Our competitive package includes:

• Great Work-Life Balance: Protect your "me time" with sociable daytime hours and no evening or weekend shifts.
• Financial Perks: Competitive salary plus an annual colleague bonus scheme and a ShareSave scheme to invest in our collective success.
• Pension: An enhanced pension scheme with company matching up to 10%.
• Annual Leave: 22 days of annual leave.
• Massive Discounts: Enjoy 20% off at Toolstation, group-wide savings across all Travis Perkins businesses, and online discounts on everything from everyday essentials to travel and airport parking.
• Career Growth: We turn jobs into journeys. You’ll have access to excellent internal development schemes and structured plans to help you progress.

We want everyone to be at their best. It is our ambition that everyone within our Group feels safe, welcome, and confident to be their authentic self. Please let your recruiter know if you require any adjustments to help you thrive during the process.

You be you, it makes us, us.

Please note: We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.
