Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Wales.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
From port and steel freight to manufacturing supply chains, employers around Bridgend compete for experienced permanent logistics people. Across Wales, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement demand across Wales follows port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bridgend run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. 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.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
A strong procurement brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Buyers and senior buyers, category managers, purchasing and procurement managers, strategic sourcing and supplier relationship managers, contract managers, analysts and heads of procurement.
We look at the categories and spend they have managed, the savings they can evidence, the negotiations they have led and their right to work.
Not always. Some employers ask for a CIPS qualification and others put more weight on experience. Tell us which matters for your role and we will screen for it.
Yes. We can recruit a procurement manager and buyers together, staggering start dates if that suits the handover.
Upload your CV and tell us your categories, your spend and the kind of role you want. We will contact you when a permanent role fits.
