Operations management recruitment for Hedon operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Employers around Hedon recruit permanent people for container, ro-ro, bulk and renewables logistics. Across the Humber & East Yorkshire, operations leaders are needed at sites such as Immingham and the South Humber bank terminals.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
The strongest operations candidates across the Humber & East Yorkshire are usually already leading operations for businesses such as container and ro-ro operators, energy and bulk logistics, chilled food distribution and regional hauliers.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel or manufacturing: we match leaders to the model they have run.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hedon 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.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
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.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
