Operative Team Leader

Job Title: Operator Team Leader

Location: Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions (Greater Preston, PR3 1AD)

Type: Full-Time | On-Site

Salary: £28,000-£30,000

We’re Hiring – Join the Ground Team at Coggin SOS

Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions (Coggin SOS) is growing and we’re on the lookout for a hands-on, adaptable, and motivated Operator Team Leader to join our operations crew.

This role sits at the heart of our day-to-day activity, supporting operatives, maintaining workflow momentum, and ensuring our facility runs like clockwork.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead from the Front: Support and guide our team of operatives across recycling, warehousing, and refurbishment tasks. Set the tone with your energy, organisation, and can-do attitude.

• Maintain Operational Excellence: Ensure the facility, plant, and warehouse are consistently clean, safe, and running efficiently.

• Coordinate with Planners: Work closely with our internal planning team to ensure jobs move smoothly from scheduling through to completion without disruption or confusion.

What You Can Expect:

• Fast-Moving, Ever-Changing Environment: No two days are the same. You’ll need to think on your feet, stay adaptable, and keep calm under pressure.

• We’re Building Smart, Not Just Big: Our goal is a business with structure, quality, and consistency — not chaotic growth. You’ll be a key part of building something that lasts.

• System-Focused Culture: We run a tight ship using tools like Trello and Google Sheets. Experience with these (or the willingness to learn) is highly valued.

• Hands-On Role with Real Impact: This isn’t a desk job. While you’ll be involved in planning and system updates, most of your day will be spent on the ground, actively leading and problem-solving with the team.

Who We’re Looking For:

You’re someone who thrives in a practical, active environment. You enjoy leading people, solving problems, and bringing structure to busy operations.

If you value doing things properly and want to be part of a business that genuinely cares about sustainability and smart growth, we want to hear from you.
