Our client is a long-established specialist manufacturer operating within the UK power infrastructure market, designing, manufacturing, installing and servicing technically complex electrical equipment for utilities, renewables, industrial and grid applications.
Private Equity backed and based in Yorkshire, the business is entering an important phase of operational continuity and growth and is seeking to appoint an Interim Operations Director for an initial period of circa six months.
Working closely with the senior leadership team, the Interim Operations Director will provide immediate hands-on leadership across production, engineering, testing, supply chain, project delivery and site services. The successful candidate will ensure operational momentum is maintained, customer commitments are delivered, and safety, quality and compliance standards remain firmly embedded across the business.
This is a highly visible interim assignment in a complex, engineered-to-order manufacturing environment. The role will require someone able to quickly assess priorities, bring structure and pace, strengthen planning and capacity management, improve shopfloor execution and operational KPIs, and align cross-functional teams during a period of transition.
We would welcome discreet conversations with experienced Operations Directors, Manufacturing Directors, Plant Directors or senior operational interims based in Yorkshire, the North of England or within commutable reach of Leeds. Experience in heavy engineering, electrical equipment, capital equipment, industrial projects or engineered-to-order manufacturing is highly relevant; exposure to power, transformers, grid infrastructure, utilities supply chain or high-voltage equipment would be advantageous.
Candidates should be available at short notice and able to commit to an interim assignment for a fixed period of time – TBD.
