Operations Director
You’re probably already running the show somewhere else. But not getting the credit. Or the equity.
Maybe you’re still delivering for a boss who can’t let go.
Maybe you’re stuck in a role where process beats progress.
Maybe the board talks big about growth but still wants your weekly report in Excel.
This isn’t that.
I’ve been retained by RGM Vent to find someone serious.
Not just about operations. About building something valuable. And having skin in the game when it pays off.
RGM Vent has already scaled from £3m to £18m turnover in under three years. They’re backed by private equity and led by an MD who’s grown it from the ground up and still keeps things moving at pace.
The next phase? £30m turnover. Larger projects. Bigger clients. An eventual exit north of £20m valuation.
They’ve built the board. Strengthened the commercial, people and finance leadership. Now they need someone to lead delivery, build resilience, and make growth feel easy.
The job
- You’ll take control of operational delivery.
- Margins. Systems. People. Risk. Quality.
- Six regional managers report to you. You sit on the board. You’ll shape how the business scales and how it wins.
- And when you win, you benefit. Because there’s proper equity on the table.
What you’ve probably done before
- Delivered £5–10m projects in M&E, building services, or complex install environments
- Led teams spread across regions or multiple sites
- Managed tier 2 subs, not just from a contract point of view, but actually getting stuff done on the ground
- Taken full ownership of P&L
- Fixed messy systems, scaled process without killing agility, and kept control while growing fast
Bonus points if you’ve worked in data centres, healthcare or pharma.
And if you’ve used Sage 300 or anything equally awkward, you’ll feel right at home.
What’s in it for you
· A board seat
· A clear equity stake
· A solid salary and benefits (to be discussed)
· A business on a sharp growth curve
· An MD who wants you to lead, not wait for instructions
Where
You’ll be based in Northern Ireland or GB, with travel to regional offices, clients and projects. That means face time with the people who matter.
If this sounds like your kind of thing, let’s talk.
