About the role 

As the Branch Manager, you’ll be supporting a small but dedicated team and ensuring the smooth day‑to‑day running of the branch. Your focus will be on:

  • A confident communicator who builds trust quickly 
  • Comfortable working in a small team where everyone pitches in 
  • Motivated to identify opportunities for growth in the local market

  • A supportive, down‑to‑earth team culture where we celebrate wins and look out for each other 
  • Access to training, development, and career progression 
  • Employee Education Fund – Staff & Dependants 
  • Access to the Fletcher Building Benefits Programme, including market‑leading parental leave, employee share plan, and staff discounts (PlaceMakers, Mico, Southern Cross + more)
