Job Description
Operations Manager | Engineering / Technical Services | Northamptonshire (On-site)
This is a build-and-lead role, not a maintain-and-manage one.
End-to-end ownership. Real autonomy. No hiding behind process.
We’re working with a growing, engineering-led business delivering critical systems into environments where reliability and performance matter. Operations sit at the heart of the business — and this role owns them.
The mission:
* Own and scale the entire operations function
* Lead delivery, scheduling, stores, workshop, compliance and engineering teams
* Bring structure, rhythm and accountability to operations
* Improve DIFOT, utilisation, margin and customer experience
* Turn strategy into operational reality
This is for you if:
* You’ve led operations in engineering / technical / manufacturing environments
* You’ve worked at scale and now want real ownership and impact
* You’re commercially switched on, not just process-driven
* You’re decisive, structured, calm under pressure
* You want to build something that lasts
Why this role is exciting:
* High-trust, low-ego leadership team
* Operations-first mindset — not a back-office function
* Hands-on, visible, empowered role
* On-site leadership position (Northamptonshire HQ)
* Competitive package and long-term progression
If you want a role where you own the engine, set the standards, and leave a legacy, this is one worth a conversation.
