The general managers and operations directors who turn Dewsbury sites around and keep them improving.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Logistics around Dewsbury is anchored by the M62 corridor, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Across Yorkshire, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Across Yorkshire, operations and general managers are hired by retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics.
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.

Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dewsbury run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
