Wales

Permanent operations directors for Aberdare

We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.

Aberdare draws on Wales' port, manufacturing and distribution talent. Across Wales, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park.

Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.

The strongest operations candidates across Wales are usually already leading operations for businesses such as manufacturing and automotive supply chains, port logistics, retail DCs and national 3PLs.

Positions we place

From site leaders to operations directors

Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.

What sets the desk apart

An operations desk, not a generalist agency

The P&L first

We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.

Leadership teams for mobilisations

For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.

Beyond the start date

We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.

What the market pays

What operations leaders earn in Aberdare

Indicative permanent salaries in Aberdare run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.

When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
  • Who the role reports to
  • Your interview process, including presentations
