Are you an experienced operations leader looking for a role with real impact and future growth?

We’re recruiting a Head of Operations for a thriving, forward-thinking business with a strong pipeline of work and ambitious plans. This is a pivotal role, managing a sizeable and dynamic team across across two Derbyshire based sites and helping shape the next phase of the company’s growth.

You’ll lead a workforce of around 100 people through a handful of direct reports, and we are looking for someone who can build strong working relationships across the business.

Key responsibilities:

• Overseeing all operational activity across the business

• Managing teams across Production, Supply Chain, Administration and Maintenance

• Driving efficiency and supporting growth in line with the business’s strong commercial pipeline

• Building strong working relationships and becoming a key player in the Senior Leadership Team

In return, you’ll join a successful business that’s investing in its future and its people – and you’ll play a central role in shaping both.
