Responsibilities

The responsibilities of an Interim Site Director

The Interim Site Director takes full responsibility for a facility: plant, logistics platform, production centre or office site. They ensure operational continuity, the safety of people and the economic performance of the site during a vacancy, a turnaround or a major project.

Overall management of the facility

They take charge of the entire site: production, maintenance, logistics, quality and support functions. They become the single point of contact for senior management and report on the site's results.

Operational continuity

During a sudden departure or a reorganisation, they maintain service levels, quality and delivery times. Customers and teams are not affected by the leadership vacancy.

Safety, environment and compliance

The Interim Site Director is responsible for the safety of people and installations. They secure the site's regulatory compliance, including at classified installations (ICPE) and Seveso sites.

Social dialogue and team management

They lead frontline managers, restore a calm industrial relations climate and conduct dialogue with the works council (CSE). They represent the company with local stakeholders.

Economic performance of the site

They manage the facility's budget, investments and profit and loss account. They identify profitability levers and take swift action on costs, productivity and flows.

Site opening, ramp-up or closure

They lead the projects that change the site's scope: start-up of a new facility, production ramp-up, transfer of activity or closure accompanied by a job protection plan (PSE).

WHY CHOOSE delville
An Interim Site Director presented within 72 hours

A facility without leadership is an immediate risk to safety, industrial relations and deliveries. We present a selection of Interim Site Directors within 72 hours, chosen for their experience of facilities comparable to yours.

Taking up the role within days

The selected manager takes up the role on site in less than a week. They carry out a rapid diagnosis, reassure teams and deal with urgent issues: safety, social tensions, production or delivery delays.

Profiles who have already run a site

We select managers who have carried sole responsibility for a facility: plant, logistics platform or production centre. They have already been through a turnaround, a ramp-up, an industrial relations crisis or a site closure.

Quantified commitments from the scoping stage

Each manager commits to site-specific indicators: accident frequency rate, service level, productivity, site costs. These objectives are reviewed with you at each progress review.

Close support for your facilities

With our offices in France (Paris, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Strasbourg) and in Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain), our teams can reach your facilities quickly. A Delville Mission Director, familiar with the constraints of running a site, supports you from scoping to handover.

Delville Manager Profile

Seasoned site leaders who have carried full responsibility for a facility: production, safety, industrial relations and economic results.

From the first weeks, they stabilise the organisation, secure operations and give teams a clear direction. They also prepare the arrival of the future permanent director.
