From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Elgin 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 vacancies across North East Scotland come from offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Sites such as Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Elgin 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.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
