Up Front Recruitment is working with a rapidly growing offsite fabrication business in Coventry that is seeking an experienced Operations Manager to lead its production facility and operational performance.
This is an excellent opportunity for an Operations Manager who enjoys ownership, structure, and improving how a workshop runs day to day, while playing a key role in the continued growth of a modern offsite construction business.
About the Company
Launched in 2024 as the offsite division of a long-established mechanical services contractor, this business was created to support the industry’s shift toward faster, safer, and more sustainable construction methods.
Operating from a dedicated Coventry-based facility, the company designs and manufactures pre-fabricated mechanical and structural solutions including pipework spools, modular frameworks, MEP skids, and packaged plantrooms. Projects are delivered across healthcare, education, data centres, infrastructure, and residential sectors, often in partnership with Tier 1 contractors.
The operation is supported by an experienced leadership team and a skilled workforce of designers, coded welders, MEP installers, and QA specialists. Quality, safety, and consistency are central to how the business operates, with robust management systems and accreditation targets embedded into everyday processes.
The Role
As Operations Manager, you will take full responsibility for operational activity within the production facility. This includes pricing, planning, production output, quality assurance, health and safety, materials management, and transport coordination.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, the Operations Manager will ensure the workshop operates efficiently, safely, and to a consistently high standard, while supporting continuous improvement as the business scales.
