Operations Management Recruitment in Broxburn

Hiring a general manager in Broxburn? We look at the P&L they have run and the teams they have built before anything else.

Scotland

Permanent operations directors for Broxburn

Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.

Across Scotland, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt. We search for leaders who already know that market.

Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.

The strongest operations candidates across Scotland are usually already leading operations for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.

Positions we place

From site leaders to operations directors

Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.

What sets the desk apart

An operations desk, not a generalist agency

Matched to the model

Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.

Discreet searches

Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.

Leadership teams for mobilisations

For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.

Leadership screen

P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.

Interviews and site visits

We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
