Lead Operations Manager

Role Summary/Purpose

We are seeking a strategically minded and execution-focused Senior Operations Manager to manage the delivery of service operations for the PowerHaul locomotive fleet, supporting key UK customers including Colas Rail and Freightliner.

The successful candidate will bring a structured, outcome-driven approach to service delivery—driving operational performance, leading cross-functional coordination, and ensuring compliance with our Maintenance Service Agreement (MSA).

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong operational leadership, project management expertise, and a high level of customer engagement capability. This is a pivotal role that demands commercial awareness, effective team coordination, and a structured, process-oriented approach.

Essential Responsibilities

Lead the delivery and execution of the MSA contract, ensuring alignment with customer expectations and contractual obligations.
Serve as the primary point of contact for day-to-day operations with UK-based customers (Colas and Freightliner).
Coordinate and oversee engine and component overhauls, working with internal and external service partners to meet quality, cost, and time objectives.
Manage service logistics, including inventory control, material planning, and spare parts availability.
Monitor and manage contract-related KPIs, reporting on service performance and proactively addressing deviations.
Ensure compliance with all administrative, safety, and regulatory requirements related to fleet operations and maintenance.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Finance) to ensure seamless service delivery.
Identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives across maintenance operations and customer support.
Lead and mentor on-site service teams promoting a culture of safety, accountability, and performance.

Qualifications/Requirements

Proven track record in operational or service delivery management, preferably within the rail, industrial, energy, or heavy engineering sectors.
Demonstrated experience in managing complex service contracts and coordinating field operations in a customer-facing role.
Strong knowledge of project planning, execution, and stakeholder coordination.
High attention to detail in managing administration, compliance, and reporting obligations.
Ability to work effectively across organizational boundaries and with external stakeholders.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence, manage conflict, and represent the company at a senior level.
Willingness to travel regularly within the UK to customer and operational sites.

Desired Characteristics

Background in railway operations, fleet management, or locomotive systems
Formal project management certification is a plus
Experience working within long-term maintenance or service agreement frameworks.
