Depot Manager (Site-Based)
£45,000 – £50,000 (DOE)

The Opportunity
This is not your typical operations role. We’re looking for a high-calibre Depot Manager to take full ownership of a key site in Glasgow – driving performance, leading from the front, and embedding operational excellence day to day. This is a hands‑on leadership position where you’ll have the autonomy to shape how the depot runs, build a strong team culture, and continuously improve processes. If you enjoy making a tangible impact within a fast‑paced environment, this role offers both challenge and opportunity.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading and managing the depot team to ensure smooth, efficient operations
- Overseeing warehouse, transport, yard, and administrative functions
- Ensuring high standards of service, accuracy, and on‑time delivery
- Monitoring and improving stock control, dispatch processes, and workflow efficiency
- Delivering training, coaching, and development for team members
- Reviewing operational processes-identifying improvements and implementing best practice
- Managing performance, addressing challenges, and maintaining a positive working environment
- Ensuring compliance with company procedures, health & safety, and operational standards
The Environment
- Orders are placed late into the day for next‑day delivery
- Service, accuracy, and responsiveness are critical
- The depot operates under consistent pressure to meet customer demand
What We’re Looking For
- Is currently a Depot Manager (or similar) with strong operational credibility
- Enjoys taking ownership of a site and driving performance improvements
- Builds strong, motivated teams and leads by example
- Is naturally solutions‑focused (“how do we make this work?”)
- Is confident challenging existing ways of working and driving change
- Thrives in a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment
You’ll need
- Proven experience managing depot or logistics operations
- Strong leadership across multi‑functional teams (warehouse, transport, yard, admin)
- Solid understanding of stock control, dispatch, and service delivery
- A hands‑on, adaptable, and resilient approach
- Strong organisational and problem‑solving skills
What’s On Offer
- £45,000 – £50,000 salary (flexibility for the right person)
- A stable, site‑based leadership role with full operational ownership
- Opportunity to shape and improve depot performance
- A key leadership position within a growing business
- Long‑term progression opportunities
This is a great opportunity for a strong Depot Manager who wants to focus on building and leading a high‑performing single site, with the autonomy to make a real difference locally.
