From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Dalbeattie with results they can explain.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Operations employers across southern Scotland include Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
Operations leadership roles across southern Scotland are spread across sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
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 Dalbeattie run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
