Permanent operations leadership recruitment across North East Scotland.
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.
Across North East Scotland, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as Peterhead and Fraserburgh harbours and the Buchan food-processing belt. We search for leaders who already know that market.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Across North East Scotland, operations and general managers are hired by offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
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 Fraserburgh run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
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.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
