Operations Director | £110,000 - £120,000 | Buckinghamshire  |  Main Contractor | Permanent

These roles don’t come around every day.  Ones that give you a clear mandate and full ownership, with a team and territory to shape.  This is one of those roles.

We are looking for an Operations Director to lead a division currently specialising in void management for the MOD (they do cover other sectors but this is the core focus at present).  It’s a senior level role, with real responsibility, covering the Home Counties, Southern England, and the south coast.

You will be the driving force behind operational delivery - setting the standard for efficiency, safety, and service excellence across the region.  From strategic planning through to on-the-ground execution, your decisions will shape the division’s performance and reputation.

This isn’t about day-to-day firefighting; it’s about ownership.  You will lead, inspire, and develop a team of managers, operational staff, and key stakeholders, embedding a culture of accountability and high performance.

What you’ll bring:

  • Senior operational leadership experience, ideally within MOD, housing, or related facilities management sectors
  • Proven ability to run large teams and multiple sites across a wide geography
  • Strong commercial acumen, with a track record of driving efficiency and operational improvement
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills - internal teams, clients, and contractors
  • A strategic mindset, combined with a willingness to get involved when needed

Why this role is different:

  • You’ll have a clearly defined territory and autonomy to shape delivery in your region
  • It’s high-profile work within a well-established organisation, working on critical MOD properties
  • The role comes with senior-level exposure and a genuine opportunity to influence strategy and operational excellence

If you thrive on responsibility, enjoy leading operational teams, and are motivated by making a tangible difference in the MOD sector, this is a role to make your mark.
