Depot Manager — Take Charge of a High-Performing Operation

This isn’t just another management role — it’s your chance to take full ownership of a busy depot and turn it into a high-performing, well-oiled machine.

If you thrive on leading people, tightening operations, and making things run better than they did yesterday, you’ll want to keep reading.

We’re searching for a Depot Manager who can bring leadership, discipline, and fresh thinking to a growing operation in Bishops Cleeve. You’ll be the driving force behind safe, compliant, efficient waste-collection services — and the person everyone relies on to make the depot perform at its best.

What You’ll Take Charge Of

*

Team Leadership — Build a motivated, high-performing workforce where people feel supported, valued, and ready to deliver.

*

Recruitment & Development — Bring in the right people, onboard them properly, and help them grow.

*

Performance Management — Handle attendance, reviews, coaching, and ER matters with fairness and consistency.

*

Communication Culture — Run toolbox talks, meetings, and open forums that keep everyone aligned and improving.

*

Customer Relationships — Deliver exceptional service and support contract renewals and tender opportunities.

*

Operational Control — Ensure people, vehicles, and processes work together seamlessly every single day.

*

Compliance & Safety — Keep transport operations, driver hours, and documentation fully compliant.

*

Fleet Coordination — Work closely with workshop teams to keep vehicles safe, legal, and ready for action.

*

Budget Ownership — Monitor costs, improve efficiency, and protect profitability.

*

Contractor Management — Ensure external providers meet every legal and operational requirement.

Why This Role Stands Out

*

A supportive, inclusive team that actually enjoys working together

*

Freedom to shape how the depot runs and how the team performs

*

Real opportunities to grow your career

*

A workplace where your ideas genuinely matter

What You Bring

*

GCSE/NVQ (or equivalent) plus CPC qualification

*

Strong leadership experience in an operational environment — waste sector experience is a bonus

*

Proven ability to coach, develop, and manage people

*

Commercial awareness and confidence managing budgets and performance

*

Excellent communication skills and solid IT ability

*

Full UK driving licence (LGV Class 2 desirable)

To apply for this role please call (phone number removed) ext 224

If this role would not be of interest to you but may be suitable friend or colleague, we can offer paid referral fees for successful placements.
