Operations Management Recruitment in Wells

The general managers and operations directors who turn Wells sites around and keep them improving.

South West

An operations recruitment desk for Wells

We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.

Operations vacancies across the South West come from grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs leaders who can hold service levels and margin at once.

Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.

Sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.

Roles on our desk

Operations and general management roles

Site, contract, regional and improvement leadership roles.

What you can expect

Leaders who stay and build

Client management

For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.

Pay that reflects the role

We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.

Beyond the start date

We stay in touch through the first months as the new leader takes charge.

What good leaders cost

What operations leaders earn in Wells

Indicative permanent salaries in Wells 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.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The brief

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

Market mapping

We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.

Offer and onboarding

We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

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:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
