Recruiting operations managers in Seaham

The right operations leader changes a site's culture in months. The wrong one does it in weeks.

From port and bulk freight to automotive supply chains, employers around Seaham compete for experienced permanent logistics people. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.

Mobilising a new contract? We can recruit the general manager first and build the leadership team around them.

Proven general managers at sites such as the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks are usually approached directly.

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.

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
  • Your interview process, including presentations
