South Yorkshire & Northern England | £38,000 – £42,000 per annum
Mission Resourcing are partnering with a reputable & well‑established South Yorkshire based engineering company. As such, we are seeking an Installation & Operations Manager to take ownership of day‑to‑day operations and lead field‑based teams. This is a hands‑on leadership role with a clear succession plan. The business is currently owner‑managed, and this appointment is designed to gradually take responsibility for the operational side of the company as it continues to grow. The role will suit someone with a strong technical background who understands site‑based installation work and is ready to step into a management role.
Duties & Responsibilities:
You will be responsible for the smooth running of installations, people, and processes. The role combines operational planning, technical oversight, and problem‑solving in a fast‑paced environment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing daily installation schedules, workloads, and site commitments.
- Coordinating engineers, subcontractors, and workshop activity
- Providing technical input on bespoke or non‑standard installation solutions
- Resolving site issues, delays, and logistical challenges as they arise
- Ensuring health & safety standards are followed across all operations
- Working closely with the business owner to transition operational responsibility over time
This is an active, operational role rather than a purely office‑based position.
About You
This role is best suited to someone who has progressed from a hands‑on engineering or installation background into leadership.
You will ideally have:
- A trade or installation background with some experience leading site teams
- Strong practical and mechanical understanding of installed systems
- The confidence to make decisions and resolve issues on live sites
- Experience planning workloads, scheduling engineers, and managing priorities
- The ability to manage people firmly, fairly, and professionally
- A desire to progress into a senior leadership role over time
Previous experience in an operational or supervisory role will be a strong advantage.
Salary & Benefits
- £38,000 – £42,000 depending on experience
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Free on‑site parking
- Long‑term career progression into a senior management or leadership position
- Stable, permanent role within a growing business
