With a capable leadership team already in place and strong backing from the parent company, the focus of this role is to provide leadership, strengthen the brand, and drive the next phase of growth, including expansion into new regions. This is a chance to build on a solid foundation and scale something that already works.

The Role
This is a critical leadership role responsible for overseeing a well-established and profitable business unit. You will lead a capable team across:

About you:

  • Proven experience leading teams in operational and/or field-based environments
  • Strong commercial acumen and ability to navigate complex client situations
  • Experience across both operations and business development (or exposure to both)

You don’t need to be the deepest technical expert, but you must have enough grounding to make sound decisions and earn trust.

What’s attractive about the role?
  • Established, profitable business with strong growth trajectory
  • Increasing demand driven by environmental regulation
  • Backed by a larger national group with strong support functions
  • Autonomy to lead and shape the business
