Hiring operations leaders for good in Macduff

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

Operations vacancies across North East Scotland come from energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.

Proven general managers at sites such as the A90 corridor, Dyce and the Bridge of Don industrial estates are usually approached directly.

Pay that reflects the role

We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.

Leadership teams for mobilisations

For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.

Your brief

The brief that works

Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.

Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Who the role reports to
