Operations management recruitment for Sheffield operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Sheffield blends a world-leading advanced-manufacturing base with quick access to the M1 and iPort Doncaster, one of the UK's newest rail-freight hubs. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.
The strongest operations candidates across South Yorkshire are usually already leading operations for businesses such as retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
We ask how candidates built their management teams and what happened to staff turnover on their watch.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sheffield run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
We compare leadership offers with current roles of similar size and scope rather than old survey data. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.
