Assistant Branch Manager (Assistant Insite Manager)

The Role We’re looking for a dynamic Assistant Branch Manager, known internally as an Assistant Insite Manager, to join our team on a well established customer site.

This is a varied role with plenty of room to make it your own. As well as delivering an exceptional standard of service to customers, you’ll be responsible for driving new business growth.

We support our customers to ensure they have all the parts, spares and tooling they need to operate as well as working hard to ensure we obtain the best deals with suppliers.

Commercially orientated, you will develop relationships with relevant stakeholders including engineering managers, procurement managers and facilities managers whilst also identifying and executing opportunities for revenue growth and margin improvement for Rubix.

In an ideal world it would be great for you to have knowledge of our products and services, but this isn’t essential.
