The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Bo'ness operations supplied at the right price.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Procurement employers across Scotland include whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Businesses operating from sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bo'ness 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
