Operations management recruitment for Nairn operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Operations vacancies across the Highlands & Islands come from distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
Proven general managers at sites such as the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet are usually approached directly.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
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 Nairn run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
General managers of large or complex sites usually earn more than those running smaller operations, though local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
