Procurement recruitment for Arnold employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Procurement vacancies across the East Midlands come from national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
With the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal carrying the region's freight, buyers across the East Midlands often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
