Operations management recruitment for Barnsley operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Across Yorkshire, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the distribution parks along the M62 and M1. We search for leaders who already know that market.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Barnsley, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
With the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham serving the region, operations leaders across Yorkshire often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Barnsley run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. 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 help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
