Senior Hire Controller
Liverpool
£38,000 – £42,000 + Benefits + 23 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
The Business
NEOS Engineering Recruitment are partnered with a well-established and highly respected name in the plant and equipment hire sector. This is a business known for reliability, strong customer relationships, and a tight-knit, high-performing team. Their Liverpool operation is a key hub, and they’re now looking to bring in a Senior Hire Controller to play a pivotal role in keeping operations running smoothly and efficiently.
The Role
This is not your standard hire desk role.
You’ll be at the centre of operations — coordinating plant, transport, and customer requirements while supporting and leading from the front within a busy, fast-paced depot.
Key responsibilities include:
Managing the day-to-day running of the hire desk
Coordinating transport and logistics for plant, generators, and accommodation units
Maximising utilisation and ensuring efficient allocation of equipment
Building strong relationships with customers and internal teams
Supporting and guiding junior team members where required
Handling queries, problem-solving, and ensuring a high level of service delivery
Working closely with the depot and operations teams to keep everything moving
The Candidate
We’re looking for someone with energy, drive, and presence - someone who can step into a senior position and make an impact from day one.
Ideal background:
Strong experience within a plant hire / equipment hire / generator hire environment
Proven experience coordinating transport and deliveries
Experience in a senior, supervisory, or managerial role (or ready to step up)
A proactive mindset — someone who takes ownership and gets things done
Strong communication skills and the ability to thrive in a close-knit, fast-paced team
Stable work history — we’re looking for consistency and commitment
This role would suit someone currently managing a smaller operation or senior hire controller looking to step into a more influential position.
Why This Role?
Join a high-performing, tight-knit team where culture matters
Opportunity to step into a senior position with real responsibility
Work with a business that values efficiency, teamwork, and attitude
Clear opportunity to make your mark within a growing operation
