Operations management recruitment for Tavistock operators who need a leader to steady a site, win back a client or open a new one.
A leader who can run a stable site is not always the one to fix a failing contract. We find out which one you need first.
Employers around Tavistock recruit for chilled and ambient distribution, marine and port work and the summer demand peak. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.
When few proven leaders are within reach of Tavistock, we widen the search and consider relocation before recommending a compromise.
Operations leadership roles across Devon & Cornwall are spread across sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates.
Operations roles for contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing.
We ask candidates about the budget, margin and costs they have owned before anything else.
For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.
We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tavistock 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.
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.
Interim leaders can steady a site for a few months. A permanent hire owns the results for the long term.
Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.
