South West

Permanent operations directors for Dursley

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.

Sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.

Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.

With the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury serving the region, operations leaders across the South West often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

For Dursley operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.

Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
