Job Description

Yard Manager

Stratford Upon Avon

£35,000–£40,000

Lead a hands-on yard operation where your leadership and physical input set the standard for the team. You’ll work alongside operatives, taking on tough outdoor conditions and manual labour that keeps you active and fully engaged.

With a structured Monday-to-Friday schedule, you’ll have your evenings back and the flexibility to occasionally adjust hours around operational needs. You’ll also benefit from a performance-related bonus, adding a direct reward for the effort you put in.

This is a full-time position with a clear focus: keep the yard running smoothly, manage the team effectively, and stay involved in the physical side of the business. You’ll be trusted to handle stock, oversee equipment, and ensure everything meets the high standards expected.

Working in a specialised timber access mat environment, you’ll gain experience that’s valued across construction, energy, and utilities. It’s a chance to sharpen your leadership and operational skills in a niche area with strong industry demand.

What you’ll do

Lead the day-to-day yard operations, working alongside the team and staying hands-on with tasks like cleaning mats and loading vehicles. Your telehandler skills will be put to good use, keeping stock moving and equipment maintained.

You’ll manage yard operatives directly, handling performance reviews, day-to-day management, and holiday approvals. You’ll also work with temp agencies when needed to keep staffing levels right.

Safety and standards are key, and you’ll take responsibility for keeping the yard secure and compliant. You’ll also support senior management with stock accuracy, performance updates, and operational improvements.

What you’ll need

Experience operating telehandlers in a commercial yard or construction setting (current licence essential)
Proven track record managing or supervising operational teams in a similar environment
Good understanding of basic HR processes and employee management
Experience handling construction and hire-based products
Strong communication skills and the ability to use Outlook and basic Excel
Full UK driving licence
