Operations Management Recruitment in Melton Mowbray

From site operations managers to regional directors, we find permanent leaders in Melton Mowbray with results they can explain.

East Midlands

Melton Mowbray operations management recruitment

Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.

Across the East Midlands, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Magna Park and the big-shed parks on the M1 and A14. We search for leaders who already know that market.

Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.

Across the East Midlands, operations and general managers are hired by national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

Market mapping

We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.

Offer and onboarding

We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

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

Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
