Operations Director - Structural Steel

Location: Wakefield
Salary: Competitive (DOE)
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

The Company

Growth creates opportunity.

It also creates pressure.

As projects become larger, teams expand and production increases, businesses need someone who can see the bigger picture, bring departments together and keep everything moving in the same direction.

This opportunity is with an established structural steel contractor delivering complex commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects across the UK. With a strong order book and ambitious plans for continued growth, they're looking for an experienced Operations Director to lead the next phase of their journey.

If you've built your career in structural steel and want a role where you'll influence strategy as much as day-to-day operations, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

The Role

Reporting into senior leadership, you'll take ownership of operational performance across the business, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and profitably while driving continuous improvement throughout the organisation.

You'll:

  • Lead operational teams across fabrication, project delivery and site operations.
  • Develop strategies to improve productivity, efficiency and overall business performance.
  • Work closely with commercial, production and project management teams to deliver successful projects.
  • Drive operational excellence while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.
  • Monitor performance, identify opportunities for improvement and implement change.
  • Build and develop high-performing teams while supporting the continued growth of the business.

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • Senior leadership experience within the structural steel industry.
  • Strong understanding of fabrication, project delivery and operational management.
  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and improve business performance.
  • Commercial awareness with experience managing budgets and operational performance.
  • Excellent communication, leadership and decision-making skills.

Desirable

  • Experience leading operational change within a growing business.
  • Background managing complex structural steel projects from fabrication through to installation.
  • Experience developing teams and implementing continuous improvement initiatives.

Why Apply?

  • Join an established structural steel contractor with an excellent reputation and a strong pipeline of work.
  • Play a key role in shaping the future direction of the business.
  • Work closely with senior leadership and influence strategic decisions.
  • Lead experienced operational teams delivering high-profile structural steel projects.
  • Excellent long-term career prospects within a growing organisation.

Apply

If you're an experienced Operations Director, or a senior operational leader ready to take the next step and you're looking to make a lasting impact within a successful structural steel business, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today for a confidential conversation and the full details of the company and opportunity.
