Operations Management Recruitment in Bath

The general managers and operations directors who turn Bath sites around and keep them improving.

South West

An operations recruitment desk for Bath

A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.

Operations across the South West are connected by the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.

Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.

Proven general managers at sites such as Avonmouth and Severnside, the M5 corridor and the Western Approach parks are usually approached directly.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

For Bath operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.

Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
