Who are we

We’re Travis Perkins Hire. With 250 locations nationwide, we're proud to be part of the Travis Perkins family. Whether it's tool, plant, and equipment hire, powered access, waste management, or welfare hire, we've got our customers covered at every stage of their project. Need advice, safety training, or a demo? We're always ready to help. Hiring with us is simple — we tailor the price to suit our customers, offering a reliable delivery and collection service they can count on. Quick jobs or tough jobs, we get it sorted.

What you’ll be doing


You’ll work closely with the Hire Manager to ensure compliance with all mechanical and electrical processes related to the repair and testing of tools and equipment, maintaining the Travis Perkins Hire standard.

  • You’ll assist your Hire Manager in managing all aspects of the Hire Department and business, ensuring that all equipment is fully repaired, tested, and safe for hire.

  • Your role will include delivering and collecting a wide range of tools and equipment to and from our customers.

  • With your growing knowledge of our products and services, you’ll be a key contact for customers, building strong relationships, understanding their needs, and offering expert advice while recommending alternatives to maximise sales and profitability.

  • Safety is our priority, so you will follow all Hire processes and procedures, including audits and inspections.

Who you are


Experience in the plant or hire industry is not essential, though it would be advantageous. A basic understanding of electrical, petrol, and diesel equipment is also a plus. More importantly, if you’re eager to learn and develop, we’re looking for transferable skills like excellent customer service and sales experience.

  • You are adaptable, resilient, and determined, with a high level of energy and drive.

  • You thrive in a busy, fast-paced environment and enjoy active work

  • You’re an experience driver with a full clean UK licence (3.5t)

  • You’re career-focused and keen to develop a long-term, rewarding career, with opportunities for progression within the company.
