The general managers and operations directors who turn Portree sites around and keep them improving.
Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.
Operations vacancies across the Highlands & Islands come from whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. 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.
Sites such as Inverness and the A9 corridor distribution depots compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.
Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Portree run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
Senior candidates compare the whole package: bonus, car allowance, pension, holiday and the authority the role carries. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
P&L, headcount, service levels, safety record and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list of leaders, each with notes on scale, results and leadership style.
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.
We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.
