  • Ensure stock is handled, stored and dispatched efficiently
  • Drive productivity and accountability across the team
  • Deliver excellent service to both customers and internal departments
  • Take ownership of yard performance and continuously look for improvements

The Ideal Candidate

  • Previous experience managing a builders merchant, distribution, warehouse or yard operation
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to gain the respect of their team
  • High personal standards and attention to detail

  • Able to create a positive, accountable and productive working environment
  • A leader whose team would willingly follow them again

What’s On Offer

  • Permanent position with a successful and established business
  • Genuine autonomy to run the operation properly
  • Support from senior management
  • Competitive salary for the right individual
  • Opportunity to build and lead what could become the strongest yard team in the area
