Managing Director

Our client is a leading consultant specialising in waste management, environmental and health and safety solutions.

The now have a requirement for a Managing Director, ideally with knowledge of the Environmental sector, but this is not essential. The role will be based in the Glasgow/West of Scotland region.

The above is as a result of the current Managing Director planning to set up an additional external business and he is now looking for someone to take over his current MD role in order to drive the existing business from strength to strength.

He is currently ultimately responsible for all aspects of business and lead revenue stream, business development and marketing. For the successful individual, there will be at least a 6 months handover period with the current MD.

At present, the business has three core revenue streams:

1. Training and assessment
2. Consultancy
3. Site services

Role:

1. Take over the position of Managing Director (Ideally Environmental Sector)
2. Support and manage existing team
3. Growth strategy
4. Assess if the company needs restructuring e.g. split of training / assessment etc.

Ideal Candidate:

1. Experience managing a business which earns money by charging for time
2. Experience managing technical / professional staff
3. Knowledge of the environmental sector would be an advantage but not essential
4. A desire to grow their career, particularly if they are not getting a chance to step up in their current role
5. Willing to consider salary plus share options

The ultimate aim is to have a management team in place to run the company without the current MD.
