The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Dalbeattie 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.
Operations across southern Scotland rely on the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
Procurement roles across southern Scotland buy for operations at sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dalbeattie run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
