Job Description - Yard Manager

Lead the Yard. Shape the Team. Roll Up Your Sleeves.

Royston | Full Time | £40,000 – £45,000

We’re helping a small, specialist timber merchant with a big heart and a loyal client base. They supply premium materials to traditional builders, restorers, and eco-conscious architects across the UK. It’s a business where people genuinely care — about quality, craft, and each other.

Now, they're looking for a Yard Manager who can bring order, energy, and leadership to the busy site — while never being afraid to jump in and get stuck alongside the team.

The Role

This isn’t just about managing a yard — it’s about leading people, creating structure, and keeping things moving smoothly in a hands-on environment. You’ll play a key role in shaping daily operations and team culture while keeping an eye on the bigger picture.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading a small team in the yard – clearly, fairly, and with respect
  • Managing stock movement, machine maintenance, vehicles, and daily workflow
  • Making sure the yard is safe, efficient, and well-organised
  • Getting hands-on when needed — you’re as comfortable operating a machine as you are running a meeting
  • Supporting operational improvements and better ways of working
  • A natural team leader who leads by example
  • Experience in timber, building materials, construction, or manufacturing
  • Someone calm under pressure, practical, and good with people
  • Hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up mindset – no clipboard managers here
  • Comfortable juggling short-term needs with long-term improvements
  • Someone commercially aware with a strong work ethic and people focus

What you’ll get:

  • A key role in a small business where your impact is real and visible
  • A respectful, close-knit team that takes pride in what they do
  • £40,000–£45,000 depending on experience
  • Freedom to shape how the yard is run and contribute to how the business grows

Ready to step up and lead a team that values action and authenticity? Let’s talk.
