North East Scotland

Hiring operations leaders for good in Peterhead

Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.

Operations vacancies across North East Scotland come from energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.

Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.

Proven general managers at sites such as the A90 corridor, Dyce and the Bridge of Don industrial estates are usually approached directly.

Your brief

The brief that works

An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.

We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
