Operations Management Recruitment in Minehead

The general managers and operations directors who turn Minehead sites around and keep them improving.

South West

An operations recruitment desk for Minehead

Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.

Across the South West, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5. 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 South West, operations and general managers are hired by port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

For Minehead operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.

When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.

A strong operations brief covers:

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

The detail

How do you assess operations leaders?

We look at the P&L, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, their safety record and their right to work, then discuss your operation with them.

Can you run a confidential search?

Yes. Senior searches can be run discreetly, including when the current post holder is still in place.

Do you recruit for 3PL contracts?

Yes. We recruit general managers and contract managers who run client contracts for third-party logistics providers.

Do you recruit continuous improvement managers?

Yes. We recruit continuous improvement and lean managers who can show measurable changes on the sites they have worked.

I lead logistics operations. How do I find my next role?

Upload your CV and tell us the size of operation, the sector and the location you want. We will contact you, discreetly, when a permanent role fits.
