We are the embedded hiring partner to an established and rapidly growing business within the technical equipment sector, supporting them in the appointment of a Head of Aftersales to lead and develop their Service and Installation operations.
The business has experienced significant growth and continues to invest both organically and through acquisition. Aftersales is already a multi-million-pound recurring-revenue operation, with further expansion planned across its national field-engineering team.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Owning and growing Aftersales revenue while protecting margin
- Developing recurring revenue across service contracts, calibration, warranty, parts and consumables
- Leading a national field-engineering operation of 20+ engineers alongside subcontractors, with further growth planned
- Improving key operational measures including SLAs, first-time fix, engineer utilisation, response times, quote conversion and contract renewals
- Taking senior ownership of key customer relationships and leading significant escalations
- Developing managers, Coordinators and support teams to create a scalable and effective operating structure
- Driving improvements across scheduling, service delivery and overall customer experience
- Monitoring commercial performance including margin, WIP, debtor days and engineer revenue
- Presenting Aftersales performance and P&L directly to the board
