Hi, I am new to SEO with a UK based site. I would like to know how to rank my site for the US search market or if it will only rank locally.

Don't buy a co.uk and expect to rank better for USA then UK. So go for a .com domain with a hosting company from the USA, so you'll have US ips.
Also, if you want to rank for a certain region is can use the meta tags like: geo.position, geo.placename or geo.region. A hreflang tag my also help, ex: <link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com" hreflang="en-us" /> - it tells the search engine your content is English and targeted for the US.
Overall I think a .com with a US based host is enough. Search engines are smart, they're rank you appropriately. Good Luck. Hello. Most importantly is choosing the right domain.
