Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Coatbridge, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Operations at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
The strongest procurement candidates across Scotland are usually already buying for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Coatbridge run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in Scotland moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
