Innerleithen operations management recruitment

Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.

Operations across southern Scotland are connected by the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.

Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.

Proven general managers at sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor are usually approached directly.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

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

Leadership screen

P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

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

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:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
