Depot Manager

NEOS Engineering Recruitment are working with a well-established and highly respected plant & tool hire business who are looking to appoint an experienced Depot Manager to lead one of their busiest and most successful depots.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a stable, profitable depot with a loyal customer base, an experienced team and excellent support from the wider business. If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely make an impact without inheriting major issues, this is well worth considering.

The Role

As Depot Manager, you'll take full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the depot, ensuring excellent customer service, commercial performance and operational efficiency. The depot hires a wide range of plant, tools and specialist equipment, operating in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead, motivate and develop the depot team.
• Drive hire revenue and maximise profitability.
• Build and maintain strong customer relationships.
• Ensure high standards of health & safety and compliance.
• Manage fleet utilisation, workshop and transport operations.
• Monitor KPIs, depot performance and service levels.
• Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts and develop new business.

About You

• Strong leadership and people management skills.
• Commercially aware with a focus on customer service.
• Comfortable working in a busy, transactional environment.
• Experience within plant & tool hire is highly desirable.

This opportunity would particularly suit someone from a smaller, service-led hire business where plant and tool hire go hand in hand, rather than someone who has only operated within large heavy plant environments.

Package

• 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
• Excellent long-term career progression
• Stable, established business with a strong reputation
