We are currently recruiting for an experienced Vehicle Compound Operations Manager to oversee the day-to-day running of a large, fast-paced automotive compound operation in Long Bennington.
This is a senior leadership role within a high-volume environment, requiring a proven operator who has previously managed large-scale vehicle compounds and understands the complexities that come with high stock volumes, tight turnaround times and multiple stakeholder demands.

- Ensure all operational processes meet customer, manufacturer and internal standards

- Manage health and safety compliance across the site
About You:
- Proven experience managing large vehicle compounds is essential

- Demonstrable leadership experience managing sizeable teams in a fast-paced environment
- Highly organised, with strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
- Confident managing multiple stakeholders and customer relationships
- Results-driven, with a focus on efficiency and continuous improvement
