Role: Operations Manager
Sector: Timber Supplies / Building Materials
Location: Wigan / Makerfield Area
Salary: £38,000 – £45,000
We are recruiting for an Operations Manager to assist the Branch Manager with the operational side of running this successful branch. This is a well-respected company, liked by customers and staff alike and it maintains a good presence in the area.
We are looking for an ambitious, motivated, and methodical individual who must have management/supervisory experience ideally within the disciplines of Transport/Logistics, Yard/Warehouse Management, and Health and Safety. This experience should come from a current role within the builders merchants world or the construction supplies sector so that would mean you have relevant transferable skills and therefore you could ‘hit the ground running’.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Like in any business, Health & Safety is paramount, this role also involves the need to identify any potential issues and present suitable solutions.
All the support you could need is there for you, but once familiar with the role, you will need to operate with a good degree of autonomy. The current team is well established, and all the relevant systems are in place, but the branch needs someone who can take ownership of the operational side of things.
You should be a person people want to work for, and you may need to assist people in your team when members of staff are off, etc. It is a ‘muck-in’ type of environment.
If you feel the above applies to you, then apply now!
