Operations Director – Multi-Site Operations

Scotland & Northern Ireland | c. £90,000 + Bonus + Car/Car Allowance

We're working exclusively on an Operations Director appointment with a large, established UK & Ireland business undergoing continued growth and operational development.

About the Role

This is a senior leadership position with responsibility for two significant operational sites across Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The business is looking for an accomplished operational leader who can bring a fresh perspective, challenge established ways of working, and identify opportunities to improve capacity, productivity, efficiency, and overall site performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Understanding how the operations currently function and developing practical solutions around areas such as site flow, resource utilization, operational processes, asset performance, and continuous improvement.
  • Emphasizing people leadership and compliance. The successful individual will need to be comfortable operating in a regulated environment, driving high standards of health & safety, and developing capable management teams beneath them.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
