Job description

Lead From The Front. Drive Performance. Build High-Performing Teams.

Location: Nottingham Salary: £50,000 + Company Vehicle + Benefits

This is an opportunity for a hands-on operational leader to take ownership of multiple sites within a growing and fast-paced business.

We're looking for someone who can balance strategic thinking with practical delivery. Someone who enjoys developing people, improving performance and setting high standards, whilst remaining close enough to the operation to understand exactly what's happening on the ground.

You'll be trusted to lead teams, drive productivity, improve efficiency and ensure sites consistently deliver against operational, commercial and safety objectives. This role isn't about sitting behind a desk reviewing reports—it's about being visible, making decisions and leading by example.

The Role

• Lead and support multiple operational sites
• Drive productivity, performance and continuous improvement initiatives
• Develop and mentor site leadership teams
• Ensure safe, compliant and efficient operations at all times
• Manage resources, plant utilisation and operational planning
• Monitor performance against key business objectives and KPIs
• Deliver cost-effective operational solutions without compromising standards
• Build a culture of accountability, engagement and ownership
• Act as the key link between operational teams and senior leadership
• Maintain high standards across health & safety, compliance and operational delivery

About You

We're more interested in leadership style, attitude and behaviours than a specific industry background.

You could currently be working as a:

• Site Manager
• Operations Manager
• Area Manager
• Production Manager
• Quarry Manager
• Plant Manager
• Depot Manager
• Senior Supervisor looking for the next step

What matters most is that you are:

• A strong people leader who earns respect through actions
• Comfortable making decisions and taking ownership
• Naturally organised and commercially minded
• Resilient, adaptable and calm under pressure
• Passionate about developing teams and improving performance
• Hands-on and practical in your approach
• Driven to challenge the status quo and improve the way things are done
• Someone who leads from the front rather than from behind a desk
• Happy to get involved in day-to-day operations when needed

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and welcome applications from all suitably qualified individuals regardless of race, sex, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age, gender reassignment, marital status, pregnancy or maternity.
