Operations Manager / Director
£120k+ | Build Your Own Team | Path to Business Ownership | HV/EHV Power Infrastructure
We're working with a growing HV/EHV power infrastructure business, looking for an experienced Operations Director to lead operational delivery as it scales into National Grid-level work. This is a genuinely rare opportunity - you'll have the scope to build your own team from the ground up, shape the direction of the business, and take on a long-term stake as it develops.
Open on background - Senior Project Managers, Heads of Construction, Operations Managers and Project Directors will all be considered, provided you can demonstrate the operational and commercial capability to lead at a senior level.
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.
What you'll be doing:
- Taking full operational ownership of live HV/EHV infrastructure delivery
- Building and hiring your own delivery team as the business expands into National Grid-scale work
- Overseeing commercial, programme and safety performance across multiple live projects
- Supporting major live tenders, including a data centre scheme and a major utilities contract
- Playing a leading role in planned civils expansion into new regions
- Sitting as a senior voice in the leadership team, with real influence over the business's direction
What we're looking for:
- Strong operational leadership background in HV/EHV, power infrastructure, or utilities framework delivery
- National Grid or NG contractor-side experience beneficial, not essential
- A track record of commercial and programme delivery across multiple concurrent projects
- Experience building or scaling a team - or clear ambition and capability to do so
- Comfortable managing your own diary and working autonomously
- Genuine ambition to grow into a senior leadership role and invest long-term in the business
