This yard needs a leader - not a passenger. Someone who can take ownership of the space, the people, and the plant, and turn a busy site into a disciplined, high-output operation.

The Chertsey yard is where everything starts and everything returns. Machines come in needing attention, parts need organising, fitters need direction, and deadlines don't wait. This role isn't about standing back - it's about stepping in, taking control, and running a yard that operates with structure, pace, and proper standards.

If you've got real management experience and you know how to keep a plant yard sharp, safe, and productive, you'll be exactly what this site needs.

Daily yard operations - organising workflow, prioritising repairs, and keeping the yard running efficiently.

Team leadership - managing fitters, yard staff, drivers, and contractors with clear direction and accountability.

Plant control & movement - tracking what's coming in, what's going out, and what needs urgent attention.

Maintenance scheduling - planning servicing, inspections, and repairs to maximise uptime.

Quality checks - ensuring machines leave the yard safe, compliant, and in proper working order.

Stock & parts management - keeping consumables, spares, and critical components organised and available.

Health & safety enforcement - maintaining a clean, safe, compliant yard environment.

Reporting & communication - providing clear updates on plant status, staffing, and operational performance.

Strong management experience - you've led teams before and know how to get the best out of people.

Plant knowledge - you understand machinery, servicing cycles, and what "fit for site" actually means.

Confidence & authority - you're comfortable making decisions and holding standards.

Clear communication - straight-talking, consistent, and able to keep multiple moving parts aligned.
