We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Jarrow and the North East.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
From port and bulk freight to automotive supply chains, employers around Jarrow compete for experienced permanent logistics people. Across the North East, operations leaders are needed at sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19.
Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.
Leadership demand across the North East follows automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers.
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 benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Jarrow run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in the North East moves with the size of the operation, the number of sites and the contract: multi-site and director roles earn the most. 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.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
