Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Bearsden.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Bearsden is served by Scotland's logistics network, centred on the Central Belt's rail-connected freight parks. Across Scotland, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
The strongest operations candidates across Scotland are usually already leading operations for businesses such as whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
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 Bearsden run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
