Job description

Assistant Site Manager – Plumbing & Heating Merchant

Location : HPS Aldershot

Salary : Negotiable DOE + Profit Share

Job Type : Full-time, Permanent

About Us :

At HPS Aldershot, we are part of the largest independent networks of plumbing and heating merchants in the UK - over 320 sites nationwide. Our sites are run by people who know their customers, their stock, and their local market. That’s because we give them autonomy and ownership - not a one-size-fits-all script.

About the Role

This isn’t just a support role - it’s a springboard. We’re looking for a driven, commercially focused Assistant Site Manager who’s ready to step up, lead from the front, and make their mark.

You’ll work side-by-side with the Business Manager to run one of our merchant sites at HPS Aldershot. We operate a decentralised model, which means our sites run with real autonomy - and we’re looking for someone ready to take responsibility, make decisions, and push the business forward.

If you’re ambitious, hands-on, and want a role with real responsibility, this is your opportunity.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Taking ownership of day-to-day operations and performance across the site
  • Leading, motivating, and supporting the team across sales, warehouse, and delivery
  • Working closely with the Site Manager to set local strategy and drive revenue
  • Building relationships with trade customers and ensuring outstanding service
  • Managing stock, purchasing, pricing, and site standards with a commercial eye
  • Stepping in confidently to run the site in the Manager’s absence
  • Getting stuck in wherever needed - this is a hands-on leadership role

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in a merchant or trade environment (plumbing & heating preferred)
  • Strong leadership qualities and a clear sense of accountability
  • Commercial awareness - you understand margin, stock movement, and cost control
  • Natural communicator with confidence in customers, suppliers, and team settings
  • Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, physical environment
  • A forward-thinker who wants to grow into a full Site Manager role
  • Full UK driving licence (essential)

    • Why Join Us

  • Real responsibility - no micromanagement, no red tape
  • A permanent, full-time role with a genuine pathway to Site Manager
  • Profit share based on your site’s performance
  • Training and product support to help you succeed
  • Be part of a growing national group that still runs on local decision-making

    • Ready to take the next step? Apply now and prove you’re ready to lead.
