From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Innerleithen with results they can explain.
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.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Innerleithen run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
