Operations Management Recruitment in Pitlochry

Hiring a general manager in Pitlochry? We look at the P&L they have run and the teams they have built before anything else.

Tayside & Fife

Permanent operations directors for Pitlochry

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

Sites such as the A9 and A90 corridors and the Angus food-processing belt 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.

With the A90, M90 and A9, the Port of Dundee and Rosyth serving the region, operations leaders across Tayside & Fife often oversee sites that run national as well as regional work.

Positions we place

From site leaders to operations directors

Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.

What sets the desk apart

An operations desk, not a generalist agency

The P&L first

We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.

People leadership

We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.

Leadership teams for mobilisations

For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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

Strong leaders value the authority to make decisions, investment in the site and a board that keeps its promises.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
