The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Carluke operations supplied at the right price.

Scotland

A procurement recruitment desk for Carluke

Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.

Procurement vacancies across Scotland come from whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.

If buying talent is scarce around Carluke, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.

Businesses operating from sites such as Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse along the M8 plus the Grangemouth port and refinery complex compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.

We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • The categories the role will buy
  • Savings and supplier performance targets
  • Salary, bonus and benefits
