In challenging industrial environments — declining performance, cost overruns, site disorganisation — quickly identifying the right profile is key. We present a selection of interim Industrial Directors within 72 hours, chosen for their ability to operate in demanding contexts.
An industrial site cannot operate without leadership. The selected manager takes up their duties in less than a week to resume operations, stabilize teams, and quickly address critical issues: production organisation, line performance, and coordination of industrial functions.
We select Industrial Directors who have already faced similar situations: production tool transformation, cost optimisation, crisis management. They immediately understand your operational constraints and implement concrete actions without delay.
The profiles we deploy are results-oriented: productivity, yield rates, quality, and on-time delivery. They operate with a strong focus on execution and continuous improvement.
Our offices in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain allow us to operate close to your industrial sites. Each assignment is overseen by a Mission Director who is an expert in your sector or region.
Experienced industrial leaders who have managed multi-site organisations and complex production environments, with overall responsibility for industrial performance.
The interim Industrial Director stands out for their ability to define clear industrial roadmaps, structure robust organisations, and drive high-impact transformations.
Swiftly, he brings coherence to operations, aligns the various industrial levers, and secures the execution of strategic priorities.

FAQs about the Interim Industrial Director
In what situations should you bring in an interim Industrial Director?
An interim Industrial Director is called in when the existing director departs suddenly, when a site opening or closure must be managed, during a post-merger industrial reorganisation, or when a competitiveness plan needs to be executed urgently. At Delville Management, these profiles cover the full range of industrial environments — aerospace, automotive, food and beverage, chemicals, energy, and construction — and are able to step in immediately.
What fees should you expect for an interim Industrial Director?
The daily rate for an interim Industrial Director typically ranges from €1,000 to €1,800, depending on experience, sector, and the complexity of the industrial scope. For assignments involving multiple sites or an international dimension, this range may be adjusted. At Delville Management, the fee is determined during the briefing phase, taking into account the specific challenges and objectives of your organisation.
How is the handover managed at the end of an interim Industrial Director assignment?
The exit is planned from the outset. The Delville Assignment Director schedules an overlap phase covering the documentation of implemented processes, the transfer of performance indicators to the successor, and the training of management teams in new working methods. This structured handover ensures that the industrial gains achieved during the assignment are sustained after the manager's departure.
How does Delville Management select its interim Industrial Directors?
The process includes an interview with an Assignment Director who specialises in the industrial sector, reference checks on comparable assignments (site size, sector, nature of the transformation), and an assessment of the candidate's command of operational excellence tools. The Delville network includes Industrial Directors based in the main French industrial regions, making it easier to identify locally based profiles.
