Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Hamilton.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations vacancies across Scotland come from retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
With the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen serving the region, operations leaders across Scotland often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hamilton 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
