My client is a Yorkshire based provider of contract cleaning and Facilities Management services. They offer a wide array of soft FM services to a broad range of clients across the Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and surrounding regions. I am currently working in collaboration with them on an excellent opportunity for a Director of Operations. The successful candidate will come with a successful senior operational management background with either a FM background or potentially another business-to-business service provision environment. With investment funds and resources available they are making plans for further expansion and are looking for the role holder to drive the business forward towards their goals. The growth will include the launch of potential new soft FM services. It is envisaged the growth will be mainly organic, but funds are available to possibly acquire local cleaning businesses should a suitable opportunity arise. The business currently has turnover of circa £3.5m and a staff of approaching 300. The role holder will report into the business owner and manage a team that includes a part-time BDM, a person in payroll, a financial controller, a Senior Contracts Manager, a contract manager, two site specific Contracts Managers, an Office Manager and an Office administrator.
The potential successful candidate fit for this role
* Candidates must be proactive individuals
* Have a well-rounded knowledge of day-to-day operational management (such as contractual obligations, H&S. HR recruitment, people management, technical aspects etc), financial management and the sales, marketing and business development aspect, training will be provided for the FM elements if required.
* This role may suit an individual who has previously successfully owned and managed their own business or a candidate who was employed by a SME and who was fully involved with all elements of running and growing a successful business within the service industry or an individual currently with a large company but who wants to return to a role that is more hands on, but who is used to working within a smaller organisation.
* Candidates should be capable and driven leaders, who are looking to succeed and drive a business forward
* Be effective at developing and implementing strategies
* Candidates must be comfortable in getting out into the field and communicating with anyone within the organisation and client base. This role will not suit individuals who like to manage remotely.
