Operations management recruitment for Falkirk operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.
Sites such as Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse along the M8 plus the Grangemouth port and refinery complex vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
The strongest operations candidates across Scotland are usually already leading operations for businesses such as grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Indicative permanent salaries in Falkirk 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.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
