Senior Hire Controller

Senior Hire Controller

Liverpool
£38,000 – £42,000 + Benefits + 23 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays

The Business

NEOS Engineering Recruitment are partnered with a well-established and highly respected name in the plant and equipment hire sector. This is a business known for reliability, strong customer relationships, and a tight-knit, high-performing team. Their Liverpool operation is a key hub, and they’re now looking to bring in a Senior Hire Controller to play a pivotal role in keeping operations running smoothly and efficiently.

The Role

This is not your standard hire desk role.

You’ll be at the centre of operations — coordinating plant, transport, and customer requirements while supporting and leading from the front within a busy, fast-paced depot.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing the day-to-day running of the hire desk
• Coordinating transport and logistics for plant, generators, and accommodation units
• Maximising utilisation and ensuring efficient allocation of equipment
• Building strong relationships with customers and internal teams
• Supporting and guiding junior team members where required
• Handling queries, problem-solving, and ensuring a high level of service delivery
• Working closely with the depot and operations teams to keep everything moving

The Candidate

We’re looking for someone with energy, drive, and presence - someone who can step into a senior position and make an impact from day one.

Ideal background:

• Strong experience within a plant hire / equipment hire / generator hire environment
• Proven experience coordinating transport and deliveries
• Experience in a senior, supervisory, or managerial role (or ready to step up)
• A proactive mindset — someone who takes ownership and gets things done
• Strong communication skills and the ability to thrive in a close-knit, fast-paced team
• Stable work history — we’re looking for consistency and commitment

This role would suit someone currently managing a smaller operation or senior hire controller looking to step into a more influential position.

Why This Role?

• Join a high-performing, tight-knit team where culture matters
• Opportunity to step into a senior position with real responsibility
• Work with a business that values efficiency, teamwork, and attitude
• Clear opportunity to make your mark within a growing operation
