Are you seeking Operations manager jobs, Operations Director jobs, field operations manager jobs or Head of Operations jobs? Do you have experience of managing teams in the field (field service engineers, field technicians or similar?) Are you seeking ops jobs / leadership jobs local to Coalville, Ashby, Shepshed, Markfield Leicestershire? We are very happy to pivot someone into their sector/industry – the team are great at passing on their knowledge having been established for over 20 years.


You will ideally have experience of working in small to medium sized expanding businesses where you need to ‘wear a number of hats’ and really make things happen ; we need a person of action!  


This Operations Manager jobs role will suit:

  • Must be within 20 miles of Coalville LE67 – this is an ‘on site’ role managing the business (with a bit of travel to customers ; but really it’s 90% + time in the business running it)

  • What we do need is someone who really wants to grab a business. You will have worked in SMEs in the past and be the sort of person who treats it like your own business – you will be inquisitive and keen to learn the business.

  • You will be the sort of person who is an excellent leader but also someone who doesn’t mind rolling your sleeves up (jumping in the car and going to see a customer when there is an issue / key project etc).

  • Someone who will set objectives / targets and really drive things and make things happen.

  • A good leader – someone who will put an arm around the team. They are very engaged and friendly so we want a conscientious and people focused person

  • Customer focused. The sort of person who jumps on things really quickly when it’s needed by the customer and whips the business into action when there is an issue or when it’s important to a customer (key deadline etc). A person of action !

  • Ideally some experience of managing H&S as this role ensures H&S is correct across the business – in the field as well as internally
