The general managers and operations directors who turn Banff sites around and keep them improving.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Sites such as Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Leadership demand across North East Scotland follows offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Indicative permanent salaries in Banff run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
