The role

Job Title: Yard/Production Team Leader

We're looking for an experienced and hands-on Yard & Production Team Leader to lead our Vehicle Appraisals, Production and Yard teams.

This is a busy, varied role where you'll be responsible for keeping daily operations running smoothly, ensuring vehicles move efficiently through the site and that high-quality digital vehicle imagery is produced on time.

You'll work closely with the Duty Manager, leading your team to deliver against quality, productivity, cost and service targets, while maintaining high standards across the site.

This is a hands-on operational role involving both indoor and outdoor work. A significant part of the role takes place in the yard, so you'll need to be comfortable working outside throughout the year and in varying weather conditions.

What you'll do

Oversee the timely production of high-quality digital vehicle assets
Coordinate daily yard activity, ensuring vehicles are parked, stored and moved safely and efficiently
Make sure vehicles are prepared for sale within agreed timescales, including barcoding, key control and valet arrangements
Monitor performance against productivity, quality, speed and cost targets
Ensure all activity follows BCA Standard Operating Procedures
Work closely with internal teams and on-site partners, including RAC, SMART repair and vehicle enhancement teams
Identify performance trends and opportunities to improve efficiency
Handle operational or customer issues professionally, escalating where appropriate
Support practical yard activities when required, including securing valuable items and jump-starting vehicles, with training provided
