We are seeking a high-calibre, hands-on Customer Experience Manager who leads from the front. In this role, you won't just sit behind a desk; you will set the service standard in the depot. You understand that flawless customer experience truly makes all the difference in future orders — picking the right orders, on time, every time.
You will take full ownership of our depot’s customer service, blending strict process discipline with a "take people with you" leadership style. If you have a background in fencing or construction supplies and pride yourself on ensuring a tidy, and highly efficient yard, this is the role for you.

Operations, Stock & Layout

* Housekeeping & Safety: Champion a strict "clean as you go" culture. Maintain an immaculate, well-organised depot and yard where everything has a home.
* Inventory Control: Support with regular, accurate stocktakes and cycle counts to minimise variance.
* Depot Optimisation: Continuous improvement of the depot layout to optimise traffic flow, picking speeds, and material handling safety to get the best possible outcome for the customer.
Leadership & People Management
* Lead by Example: Get stuck in alongside the team when needed, demonstrating what "high standards" look like in practice.
* Train & Develop: Cultivate a culture of continuous improvement by training team members to standard operating procedures (SOPs).
* Team Engagement: Bring a positive, collaborative mentality that motivates the team, builds trust, and ensures everyone is pulling in the same direction.
* Time Management: Masterfully balance daily firefighting with long-term planning.
