Foundation Recruitment is seeking an experienced Operations Manager to join a well-established and growing business specialising in demountable and modular building solutions.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has worked their way up from the tools, site or project delivery into management. Reporting directly to the Director, you'll oversee day-to-day operations, build strong client relationships and play a key role in driving business performance and growth.
Forget being stuck behind a desk, this role is about being involved, solving problems and making things happen.

The Role
You'll take ownership across the business, including:
  • Overseeing daily operations, projects, people and delivery.
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships.
  • Monitoring project budgets, costs and commercial performance.
  • Driving safety, quality and compliance across operations.
  • Managing resources, solving problems and improving processes.
  • Supporting business development and identifying new opportunities.
About You
You might be a trade-qualified professional, Site Manager, Construction Manager or Project Manager who's ready to step into a broader operational leadership role.

You'll bring:
  • A trade, construction or technical background, with demonstrated progression into management.
  • Experience overseeing people, projects and business operations.
  • Strong commercial awareness and confidence managing budgets.
  • A hands-on approach with a genuine commitment to safety.
  • Confidence with technology, systems and reporting.
  • The ability to work autonomously while partnering closely with the Director.
Defence project experience will be highly regarded, particularly in environments that require strong safety, compliance, and quality standards.
Why This Opportunity? This is your chance to step beyond individual projects and influence the bigger picture. You'll work directly with the Director, have genuine ownership across the operation and help shape the continued growth of the business.

Practical. Commercial. Hands-on. A leader who gets things done.
