Due to continued growth across Yorkshire, Envirocare Maintence Solutions are opening a brand-new depot in Wakefield and we are looking for an experienced Contract / Depot Manager to lead this exciting expansion.

You'll be responsible for setting up and managing the depot from day one; overseeing day-to-day operations, leading multiple teams, and ensuring that client sites are maintained to the highest standards.

  • Manage work schedules, ensuring resources and routes are planned efficiently across client sites
  • Conduct regular team briefings to communicate targets, safety information, and upcoming projects
  • Ensure staff have access to the correct tools, vehicles, PPE, and uniforms, maintaining stock control at the depot
  • Lead by example in promoting a strong culture of health, safety, and quality across all operations

Operational Delivery

  • Plan and monitor the delivery of grounds maintenance contracts to ensure all work meets client specifications and SLAs
  • Schedule and allocate workloads effectively, responding to seasonal changes and weather conditions
  • Carry out site inspections and quality audits, ensuring high standards of workmanship are maintained
  • Resolve any on-site issues promptly, working closely with supervisors and operatives to keep projects on track
  • Coordinate the maintenance and servicing of machinery and vehicles, ensuring compliance and reliability

Client & Commercial Management

  • Build and maintain strong, professional relationships with clients across the region
  • Conduct regular client meetings and site audits, providing reports and updates on progress
  • Identify and price additional works and variations, producing accurate quotations and following up on approvals
  • Schedule and oversee the delivery of these extra works to maximise efficiency and profitability

What We're Looking For

  • Proven management experience within grounds maintenance, landscaping, or horticulture
  • Strong leadership and organisational skills, with the ability to motivate and coordinate multiple teams
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills
  • Full UK driving licence
  • Must be based within commuting distance of Wakefield, as this is a depot-based role with regular site visits

Please see attached roughly sketched areas which should have been included in the original estate charge. There should have been no charges to J Banks for landscaping.
