Operations Manager - Southampton
- Competitive Salary
- Full time – depot based
- 45 hours per week – 7.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday
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 Totton, Southampton, 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 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 cabin fleet to prioritise maintenance and preparation work to meet order deadlines and maintain availability.
The Company plans to relocate the depot to Alton in Hampshire in the next 18 to 24 months and therefore expects applicants to be able to commute to this location.
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 have had to adapt to changing priorities and solve problems as they arise, such as manufacturing, fabrication or property maintenance. 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 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, but a flexible approach to working hours is required to meet operational need.
What we offer
You’ll be joining an established privately-owned business that will pay you a very competitive and industry leading salary, plus an annual bonus and access to a commercial 4x4 vehicle to commute to and from work. Additionally, you’ll receive:
- Purchase scheme of up to additional 3 days holiday
- 25 days holiday per year plus public holidays
- Company pension scheme
- Cycle to work scheme
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Discounts on retailers, days out, restaurants, holidays and more through a benefits hub
