Operations management recruitment for Peebles operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.
Across southern Scotland, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route. We search for leaders who already know that market.
A general manager who leaves in the first year unsettles the team, the client and the numbers at the same time.
The strongest operations candidates across southern Scotland are usually already leading operations for businesses such as cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains.
Permanent operations roles matched to site size, contract type and culture.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Peebles run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.
Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.
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:
Loading live roles…
Yes. We recruit permanent operations managers, general managers and operations directors for businesses across southern Scotland.
Operations and general managers, site and regional operations managers, operations directors, heads of operations, contract managers, continuous improvement managers and mobilisation managers.
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.
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.
Authority to decide, investment in the site, realistic targets and a package in line with the market.
