We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Inverness and Scotland.
Most proven general managers are busy running a site. The search has to go to them.
Operations vacancies across the Highlands & Islands come from whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Operations leadership roles across the Highlands & Islands are spread across sites such as the A9 and A82 trunk routes and the northern ferry terminals.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Inverness run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
A leader who understands the site's history makes better calls on people, layout and investment.
Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.
