We are looking for Operations Manager IMTAS JakMek

Written by Jørgen Fagermo

Workplace: IMTAS ​​JakMek, Sleneset


IMTAS Since its inception in 1967, JakMek AS has been an important supplier of mechanical services to the fishing and aquaculture industry on the Helgeland coast. In 2024, the company became part of IMTAS group, and is now facing an exciting development phase with ambitions for further growth.

We are now looking for a committed and proactive operations manager who will help lead this development. We are primarily looking for a good leader - an industry background is an advantage, but not a prerequisite.


About the position

As an operations manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of IMTAS JakMek. You will lead a small and competent organization, have close dialogue with customers and actively contribute to further growth in the company. The role offers great freedom and influence, and you will be a central driving force in the further development of the business.

We are looking for a manager who wants to be close to both employees and customers. Therefore, we assume that the person hired wants to live fully or partially at Sleneset. For newcomers, we are open to finding flexible solutions and possibly assistance in finding suitable housing.

For the right candidate, there will be an opportunity to develop the role into a comprehensive management responsibility for the company.

Work tasks

  • Manage the daily operations and further develop the business.

  • Personnel, financial and profit responsibility.

  • Customer follow-up, marketing work and development of new business opportunities.

  • In collaboration with the technical manager, plan and coordinate personnel and assignments.

  • Contribute to continuous improvement and further growth.

Who are we looking for?

We believe you will be successful in the role if you:

  • Have experience in management, operations, project management or business development.

  • Has good financial and business understanding.

  • Is a clear and inclusive leader with good collaboration and communication skills.

  • Is structured, proactive and committed to creating results.

Experience from industry, mechanical engineering, aquaculture or other technical fields is an advantage, but not a requirement. We also encourage candidates with other relevant management backgrounds to apply. 

We offer

  • A key leadership role with great potential for influence.

  • The opportunity to further develop an established business with significant growth potential.

  • A varied workday with short decision-making paths and a high degree of independence.

  • A good working environment in a solid group with strong professional environments.

  • Competitive conditions as well as good pension and insurance schemes.

  • Good development opportunities, including the possibility of expanded management responsibility over time.
