The posting

As industrial businesses grow, bringing people, expertise and resources together becomes increasingly important.

We are looking for an experienced operational leader to join an established and growing industrial business, working closely with the CEO and CFO to strengthen coordination across its core operational functions and support its next stage of development.

This is an opportunity for someone who understands industrial operations as a whole and knows how effective collaboration translates into reliable delivery, quality and business performance.

The role

You will oversee the coordination of production, engineering, procurement, warehousing, logistics and project delivery, ensuring that operational priorities are translated into practical decisions and measurable results.

This is a hands-on position in an entrepreneurial environment, combining close involvement in day-to-day operations with the opportunity to improve how teams collaborate, resources are deployed and business commitments are delivered.

Requirements

What you will be responsible for

  • Operational coordination: Align production, engineering, procurement, warehousing, logistics and project delivery with business priorities.
  • Production and materials planning: Coordinate customer demand, production capacity and material availability to support timely and efficient execution.
  • Operational performance: Monitor key indicators and drive improvements in delivery reliability, quality, productivity and cost.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Establish clear priorities, improve coordination between functions and strengthen shared accountability.
  • Team leadership: Work with functional heads to encourage ownership, improve effectiveness and develop their teams.
  • Systems and continuous improvement: Leverage existing systems, including SAP, and identify practical improvements in planning, visibility and execution.

What we are looking for

We are interested in professionals who combine technical understanding with a broad perspective on industrial operations and can see beyond the boundaries of an individual function.

You should bring:

  • At least 10 years of relevant professional experience, including at least 5 years in operational leadership and the coordination of teams or functions.
  • Proven experience across interdependent functions such as production, engineering, procurement, warehousing, logistics and project delivery.
  • A track record of improving operational performance, with measurable results in delivery, cost, quality, productivity or materials availability.
  • A sound understanding of production planning, inventory management and end-to-end operational flows.
  • Experience with ERP/MRP systems, ideally SAP.
  • A degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering from a major polytechnic school, or a comparable technical background.

Experience in electrical equipment manufacturing, switchboards, substations, metal fabrication or a related industrial sector will be a strong advantage.

The person behind the experience

  • You combine technical understanding with sound operational judgement. You can move comfortably between operational detail and wider business priorities, recognising how decisions in one area affect the others.
  • You enjoy bringing people from different disciplines together around a common objective. You are practical, decisive and able to maintain perspective when priorities compete or circumstances change.
  • You appreciate the dynamics of an entrepreneurial business, value direct communication, build relationships through trust and take ownership of turning decisions into action.
  • Above all, you understand that effective operations depend not only on individual functional excellence, but also on how well people, materials, information and decisions come together.

Benefits

What the opportunity offers

  • A broad operational remit with direct exposure to business decisions.
  • Close collaboration with the entrepreneur behind the business.
  • Opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the next stage of development and international growth.
  • A self-employed contractor arrangement. Compensation is structured according to experience, readiness and potential. The overall package may include a company car, home-related expenses and a performance bonus, subject to agreement.

Why this role matters

  • This is an opportunity to join an established industrial business at an important stage of its development and work closely with its leadership as it moves into its next phase of growth.
  • You will have the scope to strengthen operational coordination, improve execution and make a visible contribution to the company's performance and future direction.
  • If you enjoy connecting the moving parts of a complex operation and turning them into results, we would like to hear from you.
  • We believe the right professional is not simply someone who has done the job before. It is someone whose experience, judgement and way of working fit the opportunity ahead.
