Operations Management Recruitment in Bicester

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

South East

An operations recruitment desk for Bicester

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 East are connected by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.

We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.

Proven general managers at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow are usually approached directly.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.

Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
