A Hire Manager Opportunity Where You Can Make A Real Impact.

✅ Autonomy to manage and improve the hire function

✅ Friendly, supportive team environment

✅ Long-term career prospects

You'll be responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of the hire desk, ensuring customers receive an exceptional service from enquiry through to delivery and collection.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing the full hire process from start to finish
  • Coordinating machinery availability and fleet utilisation
  • Building and maintaining strong customer relationships
  • Maximising revenue and equipment utilisation
  • Working closely with service and sales teams
  • Handling quotations, bookings and contract administration
  • Ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction at all times


What We're Looking For

  • Experience as a Hire Manager, Hire Controller or similar
  • Background within plant hire, tool hire, machinery, construction equipment or a related industry
  • Strong organisational and communication skills
  • Commercial awareness and the ability to identify opportunities
  • Ability to thrive in a busy, fast-paced environment
