Experienced operations leaders · Interim opportunities
Bring your operating experience to a contract leadership assignment, with access to Duggan’s consulting expertise. We match experienced leaders with client needs suited to their background.
Lead the operation, develop people and build lasting capability, with Duggan consultants available for advice and support. Between assignments, you are free to work elsewhere.
What makes the approach different
We look for leaders who have already carried responsibility for an operation. Assignments build on that experience, with advice and support from Duggan consultants as you strengthen delivery, daily leadership and client capability.
Connect customer demand, product families and the flow of work. Bring your judgment to daily decisions, from order through production and delivery.
Access Duggan consultants for advice, support and additional resources when needed. You bring responsibility for the operation, with experienced colleagues to draw on.
Coach people as they use the operating routines. Bring your judgment and experience while helping others understand the method and take ownership of it.
Prepare clear responsibilities, working routines and a practical handover. The aim is stronger daily execution and capability that remains with the client after the assignment.
Who we welcome
We welcome conversations with accomplished plant and operations managers, functional leaders and senior operations professionals, including those with supply chain, logistics, warehouse, maintenance, quality or continuous improvement experience.
Your background may include assembly, machining and fabrication, high-mix/low-volume or higher-volume manufacturing. What matters is the responsibility you have held, how you have developed people and your willingness to learn and apply the Duggan way.
The current service supports US operations. Share your location, ability to work in the US and travel preferences when you connect with us.

Once you are approved for our talent pool, we bring you suitable opportunities with individual compensation offers. These reflect the client’s budget, your experience and your expectations. The terms are discussed for each assignment.
