Operations Management Recruitment in Milford Haven

Hiring a general manager in Milford Haven? We look at the P&L they have run and the teams they have built before anything else.

West Wales

Permanent operations directors for Milford Haven

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

Operations across West Wales are connected by the A40, the A487, the A48 and the ports at Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock and Fishguard. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.

We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.

Leadership demand across West Wales follows port and terminal operators, food and drink manufacturers, agricultural supply chains and rural distribution.

Positions we place

From site leaders to operations directors

The people who own the service, the costs and the team.

An operations desk, not a generalist agency

Pay that reflects the role

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

Safety leadership

Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.

What the market pays

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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

We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Who the role reports to
