Job Description
Regional Depot Manager (Multi-Site / Mobile)
£45,000 + Car Allowance + Fuel Card
UK-Wide Travel (6 Depots) - Ideally Midlands Based
The Opportunity
This is not your typical operations role! We're looking for a high-calibre Depot Manager ready to step into a broader, more impactful position - supporting multiple sites, influencing standards, and driving operational excellence across a growing UK network.
You'll act as a trusted operational leader, stepping into depots when it matters most - whether that's covering leadership gaps, supporting growth, or embedding better ways of working. If you enjoy variety, problem-solving and making a tangible difference wherever you go, this role offers a genuine step forward.
What You'll Be Doing
This role is a mix of hands-on leadership and operational improvement. You'll spend time across multiple depots:
- Taking full control when providing management cover (holidays, absence, vacancies)
- Leading teams and ensuring operations run smoothly from day one
- Delivering training, coaching, and structure to depot teams
- Reviewing processes - what's working, what's not, and why
- Identifying risks, improving SOP adherence, and raising standards
- Supporting succession planning - developing internal talent or bridging gaps during recruitment
- Feeding back insights and implementing improvements across the wider network
No two assignments will be the same. One week you may be stabilising a busy, high-volume depot - another, helping a smaller site improve efficiency or training a new manager.
The Environment
You'll be working within a fast-paced, reactive, trade-focused operation, where:
- Orders are placed late into the day for next-day delivery
- Service, accuracy and responsiveness are critical
- Depots vary in size, complexity, and pressure levels
It's a business where things move quickly - and you'll need to as well.
What We're Looking For
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Is currently a Depot Manager (or similar) with strong operational credibility
- Wants to step into a regional-style role without full P&L ownership
- Can quickly build trust in new teams - without feeling like "the outsider"
- Is naturally solutions-focused ("how do we make this work?")
- Enjoys improving processes, coaching people, and raising standards
- Is confident challenging ways of working and driving change
You'll need:
- Proven experience managing depot or logistics operations
- Strong leadership across multi-functional teams (warehouse, transport, yard, admin)
- Solid understanding of stock control, dispatch, and service delivery
- A hands-on, adaptable, and resilient approach
- Full UK Driving Licence
- Flexibility to travel and stay away when required
What's On Offer
- £45,000 salary (some flexibility for the right person)
- £5,000-£6,000 car allowance
- Fuel card (business + personal use)
- Accommodation and meals covered when staying away
- A highly varied role with real influence across multiple sites
- Clear opportunity to step up and broaden your operational impact
This is a rare opportunity to move beyond a single-site role, influence multiple operations across a growing network, work closely with senior leadership on process and performance and develop into a true multi-site operations leader. If you're a strong Depot Manager ready for something more dynamic, this could be the move that accelerates your careerBefore You Apply
