Are you a commercially minded operator who understands field‑based service delivery?
Have you built your career in drainage, utilities, groundworks, construction, civil engineering, infrastructure maintenance or a closely related sector?
Do you know what it takes to earn the respect of experienced crews, lead from the front and grow a successful SME without losing what makes it special?
We are seeking a hands‑on Managing Director to lead a highly respected, long‑established SME into its next chapter.
This is a rare opportunity to take the reins of a profitable business with strong foundations, loyal customers, an experienced workforce and genuine growth potential.
