Who are Pickerings
Pickerings is a leading supplier of high-quality temporary buildings. We design and supply solutions to a diverse customer base, including schools needing extra classrooms, commercial businesses needing additional office space and construction sites needing a complex of offices and welfare facilities.
The Role
As Operations Manager at our depot in Sittingbourne, Kent, you’ll take a hands-on approach to coordinating and supervising a team of 12 operatives who have a range of plumbing, electrical and building maintenance skills, to ensure our buildings are constructed and maintained to the highest standard and made ready for delivery to our customers on time and within budget.
To achieve this, you’ll need to maintain a regular presence in the yard and workshop to provide direction and guidance to your team to resolve problems timely and ensure the expected standards of workmanship are maintained. You’ll also undertake inspections and audits of the depots fleet of buildings to prioritise maintenance and preparation work to meet order deadlines and maintain availability.
About You
Whilst a background in temporary building hire would be advantageous, more importantly is experience of leading a team in a fast-paced environment where you’ve had to adapt to changing priorities and solve problems as they arise. You will be highly organised with a passion for ensuring our customers receive the best service we can deliver. You will be able to effectively communicate with individuals at all levels and need some basic IT skills.
Whilst our business primarily operates Monday to Friday, a flexible approach to working hours is required to meet operational need.
