Permanent operations leadership recruitment across Scotland.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Operations employers across Scotland include retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cambuslang run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
An offer set at the market saves a second round of negotiation. We give you a current read on leadership pay before the search starts. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
