Contract: Interim

Start: Immediate / Short Notice

We are supporting an established industrial business in the appointment of an Interim Head of Service Centre to lead and develop its field-based service operation.

The business provides installation, maintenance and repair services to customers across its installed equipment base. This is a commercially focused operational leadership role, with a clear mandate to professionalise the Service function, improve its visibility across the wider organisation and establish it as a standalone, profitable business unit.

The Role

• Introduce greater operational structure, processes and accountability across the Service function.
• Bring together the operational and commercial elements of Service, creating a more joined-up approach to customers and delivery.
• Take ownership of the Service P&L, improving commercial performance, visibility and decision-making.
• Raise the profile of Service internally and ensure it becomes a key strategic focus for the wider business.
• Develop a clear strategic roadmap for the function, moving towards longer-term, recurring service and maintenance contracts with customers.
• Drive performance across installation, planned maintenance, reactive repair and wider customer support.

The Candidate

We are looking for an experienced service leader who can quickly assess the existing operation, establish structure and deliver tangible improvements.

You will ideally have:

• Experience leading field-based engineering/service teams.
• A background within manufacturing, machinery, industrial equipment or a related technical environment.
• Strong operational leadership combined with a clear commercial and P&L mindset.
• Experience developing service propositions and increasing recurring or contracted revenues.
• The ability to operate effectively in an interim environment and make an immediate impact.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced service leader to take ownership of an established function and shape its next stage of development
