An operations recruitment desk for Rothesay

Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.

Sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.

When few proven leaders are within reach of Rothesay, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.

Across Scotland, operations and general managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.

Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
