Humber

Recruiting operations managers in Hull

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

Hull sits on the Humber — the UK's busiest ports complex by tonnage — making it a major base for port logistics, forwarding and renewables supply chains. Across the Humber, operations leaders are needed at sites such as the Port of Hull, the Humber International Enterprise Park and the A63 corridor.

We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.

Leadership demand across the Humber follows port and bulk terminal operators, offshore wind and renewables supply chains, chemicals and food processing and rail-linked 3PLs.

How it works

From brief to start date

Confidential approach

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

Interviews and site visits

We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Referencing

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

Your brief

Before we start searching

Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.

When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
