General Manager – Service & Manufacturing
West Leicestershire
Up to £95,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Are you an Operations Manager, Head of Operations or Operations Director ready to run a whole business?
We’re recruiting a General Manager to lead an established, profitable engineering operation in West Leicestershire.
This is a smaller, hands-on business with around 30 people, but it forms part of a successful, well-funded international engineering group with ambitious growth plans. The current site leader is moving into a wider international role, so you’ll benefit from a structured handover rather than walking into a turnaround situation.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Manufacturing, service and engineering delivery
- People leadership and performance
- P&L and budget control
- ERP, capacity, WIP and operational data
- Quality, Health & Safety and compliance
- Developing the site to handle larger, higher-value engineering projects
The business covers welding, fabrication, machining, repair, refurbishment and field service within a low-volume, high-variety engineering environment.
This is an excellent step for an ambitious Operations Manager, Head of Operations, Manufacturing Manager or Operations Director who has already taken significant responsibility for an engineering or manufacturing operation and is ready for more.
