We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Billingham and the North East, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Procurement vacancies across the Tees Valley come from chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Businesses operating from sites such as Teesport and the Teesside Freeport estates compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Billingham run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
