Permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for logistics businesses in Kingussie.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Across the Highlands & Islands, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports. We search for leaders who already know that market.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Kingussie, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
With the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles serving the region, operations leaders across the Highlands & Islands often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kingussie run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Operations pay in Scotland 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.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.
Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.
