About the Role

Do you enjoy practical work and take satisfaction in keeping things well-organised and presentable? We’re recruiting for a Yard Operative to join a well-respected national equipment hire business at their Bristol depot.

The company supplies a modern fleet of plant machinery to major projects across the UK and prides itself on service, safety, and creating a positive workplace for its employees.

Role Overview

You’ll be an important part of the depot operations team, ensuring machinery is well-maintained and the yard is kept in excellent condition. Typical duties include:

  • Cleaning and jet-washing plant equipment before it’s sent out to customers

  • Keeping the yard area safe, tidy, and compliant with standards

  • Making sure machines and vehicles are parked and stored properly

What We’re Looking For

  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work on your own initiative

  • Good communication skills with a practical, can-do approach

  • Previous experience in a similar yard or plant hire role would be useful, though not essential as training will be provided

Benefits & Package

  • £29,835 annual salary

  • 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays)

  • An additional day off on your birthday

  • Access to employee benefits and wellbeing schemes

  • A supportive, team-focused environment where hard work is recognised

If you’re looking for a steady, hands-on role with a company that values its staff, this could be the opportunity for you.
