THE ROLE

We’re looking for an Operations Manager to lead daily execution across a group of 2–3 depots and approximately 300–450 vehicles. Reporting to the District Manager, you’ll lead Operations Supervisors and their depot teams, ensuring vehicles are ready and delivered on time, teams have the right staffing and knowledge, and operating standards are consistently followed. This is a hands‑on, field-based leadership position. You’ll be based at the largest depot within your assigned group, travel frequently between locations, and serve as the first escalation point for critical operational issues.

Manage, coach, and develop Operations Supervisors, setting clear daily and weekly expectations

Monitor daily and weekly KPIs, identify performance gaps, and implement corrective actions

Manage labor, overtime, scheduling, productivity, and operating expenses within the approved budget

Coordinate workforce coverage across locations, particularly during seasonal and operational peaks

Ensure consistent execution of SOPs, safety standards, compliance requirements, and people practices

Resolve escalated operational and customer issues and prevent recurrence
