The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Carlisle operations supplied at the right price.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Procurement employers across Cumbria include food and drink and dairy processing, nuclear and marine supply chains, forestry and timber and regional hauliers. 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.
Procurement roles across Cumbria buy for operations at sites such as the west Cumbrian coast at Workington and Whitehaven.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Carlisle 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.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
