This is not a traditional operations management role.
This is a business leadership position running a specialist division inside a growing construction and fit-out group with serious market opportunity.
We’re looking for a General Manager who understands:
Commercial performance
Operational delivery
Team leadership
How to scale a specialist capability inside a larger business
Not just someone who manages projects.
🚀 Why This Role Is Different
Specialist Group is investing heavily in the growth of its Glass & Metal Division - recognising the significant opportunity this capability presents across the wider construction and fit-out market.
This role isn’t just about maintaining operations.
You’ll be responsible for building, scaling, and leading the division through its next phase of growth.
You won’t just manage delivery.
You’ll influence:
📈 Revenue growth across the division
💰 Profitability and commercial performance
🏗 Operational capability and project delivery
👥 Team structure and leadership development
🤝 Market positioning and new opportunity generation
Your decisions will directly shape the future of the division.
🏗 What We’re Looking For
This role will suit someone who has:
Senior leadership experience within construction, subcontracting, or specialist trades
Experience managing P&L and commercial performance within a division or business unit
A strong understanding of project delivery in complex environments
Confidence leading operational teams and building scalable structures
The ability to balance strategy, commercial thinking, and delivery
If you’ve worked in:
Architectural metalwork
Glass & glazing systems
Specialist subcontracting
Fit-out or construction project delivery
You’ll likely feel at home here.
📊 What You’ll Be Accountable For
This is a leadership role with clear commercial ownership.
You’ll be responsible for:
Divisional revenue growth
Profitability and cost control
Successful project delivery
Operational structure and performance metrics
Building and developing the right team
Strengthening client relationships and securing new work
This is a business unit leadership role - not just an operational management position.
🌱 Culture & Environment
Entrepreneurial mindset with real growth opportunity
Collaborative leadership team
A business investing in specialist capability
Fast-paced project environment
Strong focus on delivery, quality, and commercial performance
This is a division with huge potential - and the leadership role to unlock it.
🎯 Who This Is Perfect For
You might currently be:
A Divisional Manager ready for full P&L ownership
An Operations Director or Senior Project Director wanting broader commercial responsibility
A Specialist subcontracting leader ready to scale a business unit
A Commercially strong construction leader who enjoys building teams and capability
If you enjoy leading teams, driving growth, and building something with real market potential - this could be the move.
