Permanent operations leadership recruitment across Wales.
We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.
Across Wales, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks. We search for leaders who already know that market.
Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.
Leadership demand across Wales follows port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs.
From operations managers to directors of operations.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
Every operations screen covers the candidate's approach to health and safety.
For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Pontypridd run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Bonus structures matter at this level. We check how each candidate's current bonus is calculated so the comparison is fair. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.
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.
