Are you a natural leader with a passion for operational excellence and commercial growth? This is your chance to take the reins of a thriving depot within our nationwide Plant & Tool Division, where your decisions make a real impact every day.
As General Manager, you won't just manage - you'll own your Profit Centre, shape strategy, and lead a high-performing team to deliver exceptional service to customers across construction, utilities, and infrastructure. If you're ready to combine leadership with hands-on business influence in a fast-paced, growing industry, this is the role for you.
Here's what success looks like in this role:
• Leading and developing your depot team to drive performance and exceed customer expectations
• Managing your own Profit Centre, influencing all aspects of depot operations; from recruitment and training to purchasing equipment and supplies
• Identifying opportunities to grow revenue with new and existing customers
• Ensuring quality and compliance through audits and regular customer visits
What You'll Bring
• Proven operational management experience, ideally within the construction or hire industry
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to build and motivate a high-performing team
• Commercial acumen, including experience managing P&L and spotting business development opportunities
• Knowledge of Plant & Tool equipment and the local customer base (highly beneficial)
• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills
You'll be joining an industry leader that's growing and genuinely committed to your success. At GAP, we're proud to be the UK's leading equipment hire provider - supporting projects big and small across construction, infrastructure, events, and more. With nearly 200 locations nationwide and a wide range of specialist divisions, we offer exciting opportunities in everything from Plant and Tools to Lifting, Survey, Pumps, Power and Environmental, and Event Services.
As a family-run business with over 50 years of experience, we believe in doing things the right way. That means:

• Remaining fully independent, which lets us make agile, long-term decisions that support your success
• Offering real career growth, training, and development from day one
• Support that values you – from generous holidays to Life Assurance and Health & Wellness Support
