Our client is a market-leading, innovative specialist structural steelwork Group. It has a reputation for performance and value and has established a new joint venture in India which will deliver significant operational capacity from summer 2010. The business will manufacture and provide the design, fabrication and erection of structural steelwork for the many active construction sectors in India and the opportunity for the JV is enormous.
Chairing the Executive Committee and reporting to the JV Board, the responsibility is to deliver the growth plan for the business both operationally and commercially. It is envisaged that there will be an operations capability of 35000 tonnes for 2011 with growth expected thereafter. A candidate of substance with an impressive background is required. The ideal is a graduate engineer and MBA with a wealth of experience both commercially and operationally in a major manufacturing business. You will ideally need to have run a division or significant business within a major manufacturing group and also have international experience. You will be comfortable leading a JV, be culturally and commercially strong and have the vision, leadership qualities and interpersonal skills necessary for such a key role. Knowledge of construction sector or heavy metal based products is ideal but in reality the client is seeking a business leader with the gravitas to develop this JV over the next 3 years and establishing it as a highly successful manufacturing and commercial operation in India.
Experience of the Indian marketplace would be helpful but is not essential. The client is looking for a minimum commitment of 3 years and there are significant growth opportunities within the Group. This is the right time to be joining this highly successful Group and the benefits package will be tailored to attract the best talent available in the industry and will not be an obstacle for the right person. |
