The general managers and operations directors who turn Oldbury sites around and keep them improving.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Sites such as the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.
Leadership demand across the West Midlands follows automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.
Permanent operations leadership, from site operations managers to operations directors.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
Indicative permanent salaries in Oldbury 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.
We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.
