Who Are Pickerings
Pickerings is a leading supplier of high-quality temporary buildings. We design and supply solutions to a diverse customer base, including schools needing extra classrooms, commercial businesses needing additional office space, and construction sites needing a complex of offices and welfare facilities.
The Role
As Operations Manager at our depot in Totton, Southampton, you’ll take a hands-on approach to coordinating and supervising a team of 12 operatives who have a range of plumbing, electrical, and building maintenance skills, to ensure our buildings are maintained to the highest standard and made ready for delivery to our customers on time and within budget.
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.
To achieve this, you’ll need to maintain a regular presence in the yard and workshop to provide direction and guidance to your team to resolve problems timely and ensure the expected standards of workmanship are maintained. You’ll also undertake inspections and audits of the cabin fleet to prioritise maintenance and preparation work to meet order deadlines and maintain availability.
The Company plans to relocate the depot to Alton in Hampshire in the next 18 to 24 months and therefore expects applicants to be able to commute to this location.
About You
Whilst a background in temporary building hire would be advantageous, more importantly is experience of leading a team in a fast-paced environment where you have had to adapt to changing priorities and solve problems as they arise, such as manufacturing, fabrication, or property maintenance. You will be highly organised with a passion for ensuring our customers receive the best service we can deliver. You will be able to effectively communicate with individuals at all levels and need some basic IT skills.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Whilst our business primarily operates Monday to Friday, a flexible approach to working hours is required to meet operational need.
What We Offer
You’ll be joining an established privately-owned business that will pay you a very competitive and industry-leading salary, plus an annual bonus and access to a commercial 4x4 vehicle to commute to and from work.
