The general managers and operations directors who turn Grangemouth sites around and keep them improving.

Scotland

An operations recruitment desk for Grangemouth

Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.

Operations employers across Scotland include whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.

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

Sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.

How it works

Our process, step by step

We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.

Confidential approach

Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.

Referencing

We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.

We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
