Merco, M27 8UW, Manchester Area
We are looking for an Out of Hours Area Manager to oversee a number of client sites outside of normal office hours. The role will involve supporting cleaning teams, maintaining clear communication with staff and management, and ensuring all sites continue to meet Merco and client standards.
Responsibilities will include:
- Visiting sites
- Delivering cleaning stock and equipment
- Completing site audits and quality checks
- Supporting staff inductions
- Arranging holiday and sickness cover
- Responding to any operational issues that arise during out-of-hours periods
- Supporting with shift changes, staff attendance, basic equipment issues, and ensuring any concerns are reported and followed up promptly
The role requires someone who is organised, reliable, and proactive, with the confidence to manage situations independently while keeping the wider management team informed. Flexibility is essential, as working hours will include early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends, depending on operational requirements.
