Sevenoaks
Carey & Carey Consulting
Operations manager
€70,000 a year
Posted: 12h ago
The role

We are looking for an Operations Manager who already understands electrical contracting or manufacturing and can hit the ground running. You will bring strong H&S awareness, confidence working with KPIs and operational systems, and the mindset to take ownership and drive standards. This is a role for someone who thrives in an SME environment where initiative matters, decisions are yours to make, and the impact of what you do is seen immediately across the business.

Salary (yearly) £65K - £75K

Important: Sector Experience is Essential. This role requires direct, hands‑on experience in electrical contracting, M&E services, or a directly comparable technical installation or manufacturing environment. We are unable to consider applications without this background, regardless of broader operations management experience.

Essential Requirements

  • Proven operational management experience within electrical contracting, M&E services, engineering, or a directly comparable technical installation or manufacturing business – this is a firm requirement.
  • Demonstrable experience leading mixed teams including site staff, office administration, and stores personnel.
  • Solid working knowledge of health and safety requirements in a site environment: RAMS, risk assessments, and compliance documentation.
  • A track record of improving and implementing systems, workflows, or operational processes in a practical environment.
  • Comfortable with periodic UK‑wide travel, including overnight stays.
  • Full UK driving licence.

Desirable

  • H&S qualification: IOSH Managing Safely or NEBOSH General Certificate.
  • Experience in an SME or owner‑managed business where flexibility and initiative are essential.
  • Familiarity with digital tools including stock management systems, KPIs and Project Planning software, and Office 365.
  • Additional training in project management, compliance, or operational leadership.

Key Responsibilities

As Operations Manager you will take ownership of the day‑to‑day running of the business — from office administration through to site operations and supplier relationships. This is a genuinely broad role in a lean, fast‑moving SME, and it suits someone who moves comfortably between a desk and a client site visit.

The position requires periodic travel to various customer sites across the UK, which may include overnight stays. This is an integral part of the role and we are looking for someone who embraces that environment.

What We Offer

  • Competitive Base Salary
  • 20% Bonus Linked To Personal Performance Against Objectives
  • Company Car
  • Fully Expensed Travel
  • Significant Development & Career Opportunities
  • Ability To Make An Immediate Impact
