Permanent operations leadership recruitment across Tayside & Fife.
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.
The market around Cupar is anchored by Dundee and the Fife industrial estates, with the M90 giving quick reach to Edinburgh and beyond. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Cupar, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
With the A90, M90 and A9, the Port of Dundee and Rosyth serving the region, operations leaders across Tayside & Fife often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cupar run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
