Hiring a general manager in Washington? We look at the P&L they have run and the teams they have built before anything else.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Operations vacancies across the North East come from automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
Proven general managers at sites such as the A1(M) and A19 corridor estates are usually approached directly.
The people who own the service, the costs and the team.
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.
Senior searches are run confidentially, whether you are replacing a leader or planning ahead.
Indicative permanent salaries in Washington run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.
If your offer sits below what comparable leaders earn, we tell you before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.
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.
A permanent operations leader builds a management team, a culture and a record with the client. That value grows each year they stay.
We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.
