Yard Manager | Winchester, Hampshire
Are you a high-energy leader with a "get-it-done" attitude and a deep understanding of heavy plant and machinery? We are seeking a Yard Manager to spearhead operations at our Winchester site. This isn't just a desk job; it’s a dynamic, hands-on role that requires a blend of logistical precision, team leadership, and the ability to represent our brand on the road.
The company is in growth mode & are looking for this person to take on extra responsibility, as the company adds extra sites
The Role: Impact & Responsibility
As the Yard Manager, you are the heartbeat of our operations. You will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle — from the moment machinery arrives at the yard to the point of successful collection.

Starting Salary: £38,000 – £42,000

Operational Oversight: Managing the arrival of plant, equipment, and vehicles, ensuring everything is positioned and processed efficiently.
