The working hours are 45 hours per week, Monday to Friday - 6.30 am - 4.30 pm with one hour for lunch.

This is a varied, hands-on role that plays an important part in keeping our utilities operations running efficiently.

You'll work closely with the operations manager, supervisors, field operatives and suppliers to ensure our teams have the equipment, materials and supplies they need to get the job done.

What You'll Be Doing

No two days will be quite the same. You'll have responsibility for keeping the yard organised, equipment accounted for and operational teams supported.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Keeping the yard running smoothly: Taking ownership of the day-to-day organisation, cleanliness and general upkeep of the yard, stores and associated buildings, ensuring they remain safe, tidy and well maintained.

• Managing stock and supplies: Monitoring stock levels, maintaining accurate records and coordinating the replenishment of PPE, consumables, tools and other operational supplies.
• Supporting operational teams: Working closely with supervisors and field operatives to ensure plant, equipment and materials are ready and available for planned works.
• Overseeing servicing and maintenance: Monitoring equipment inspection and servicing dates, coordinating routine maintenance and repairs, and ensuring defective equipment is identified and reported.
• Maintaining a safe working environment: Carrying out routine yard checks, identifying potential hazards and ensuring safe storage, housekeeping and site procedures are followed.
• Managing deliveries and collections: Receiving and checking deliveries, reporting discrepancies and ensuring materials and equipment are stored safely and in the correct locations.
• Keeping accurate records: Maintaining plant registers, stock records, equipment issue logs and maintenance documentation, ensuring information is accurate and up to date.
• Identifying opportunities for improvement: Taking a proactive approach to improving yard organisation, stock control, equipment availability and day-to-day operational efficiency.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being organised, takes pride in their working environment and understands the importance of having the right equipment and supplies available at the right time.

You'll be practical, dependable and comfortable working in a busy operational environment where priorities can change throughout the day. You'll have the confidence to deal with day-to-day issues, communicate effectively with colleagues and take the initiative to keep things running smoothly.

To be successful in this role, you'll need:

• Previous experience working in a plant, yard, stores, warehouse, construction, utilities or similar operational environment.

It would also be advantageous if you have:

• Previous experience working within the utilities, civil engineering, infrastructure or construction sectors.
• Experience coordinating plant, machinery, tools and equipment.
