Procurement recruitment for Airdrie employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Operations across Scotland rely on the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
The strongest procurement candidates across Scotland are usually already buying for businesses such as whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Airdrie run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
