Contact: Emily @ Pearson Whiffin Recruitment

Are you fluent in both French and English and looking for a career that offers challenge, responsibility and genuine long-term opportunities?

We're working with a leading international organisation to recruit several French-speaking Operations Controllers to join a specialist operational control team. These are unique positions within a highly professional, fast-paced environment where you'll play a vital role in supporting safe and efficient operations across the UK and France.

This is not your typical office job. You'll be at the centre of a 24/7 operation, coordinating information, monitoring live activities, responding to incidents and helping ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Full training will be provided, so we're open to candidates from a variety of backgrounds who can demonstrate the right skills, mindset and aptitude.

The Role

Working within a modern operational control environment, you'll be responsible for monitoring live systems, coordinating information, supporting operational decision-making and responding to changing situations in real time.

Depending on the team you join, you may be involved in:

Monitoring operational activities and identifying potential issues

Communicating critical information to colleagues and stakeholders

Coordinating resources and supporting service continuity

Responding to incidents and following established safety procedures

Maintaining accurate records and operational logs

Working closely with teams across both the UK and France

Ensuring information is communicated clearly, accurately and promptly

This is a role that requires focus, attention to detail and the ability to remain calm when priorities change.

About You

We're interested in speaking with candidates who enjoy working in structured environments and can confidently manage multiple streams of information at once.

You may have experience within:

Control room environments

Emergency services

Aviation or transport operations

Logistics and planning

Security or Border Force

Military services

Utilities or infrastructure operations

Any fast-paced, process-driven environment where accuracy is critical

To be successful, you'll need:

Fluent French and English language skills (minimum B2 level)

Strong communication skills, both verbal and written

Excellent attention to detail

The ability to remain calm and focused under pressure

Strong organisational and problem-solving abilities

A methodical and professional approach to work

A full driving licence

Flexibility to work in both the UK and France when required

Working Pattern

These positions operate on a rotating 24/7 shift pattern:

2 Early Shifts (approximately 06:00 - 14:00)

2 Late Shifts (approximately 14:00 - 22:00)

2 Night Shifts (approximately 22:00 - 06:00)

Followed by 4 Days Off

Candidates must be comfortable working a mixture of days, evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays as part of the rota.

Whilst this is a shift-based role, the pattern provides regular extended periods away from work, making it popular with many employees who value a good work-life balance.

What's on Offer?

Salary circa £42,000

Annual bonus opportunity

Generous pension scheme

Private healthcare

Life assurance and income protection

Share and savings schemes

Generous holiday entitlement

Discounted travel benefits

Employee wellbeing support

Comprehensive training programme

Genuine long-term career development opportunities

Interested?

If you're looking for a challenging and rewarding career where your language skills, attention to detail and ability to perform under pressure will be genuinely valued, we'd love to hear from you.
