A procurement recruitment desk for Dunoon

A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.

Procurement vacancies across Scotland come from grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.

Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.

Procurement roles across Scotland buy for operations at sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates.

How it works

Our process, step by step

Commercial screen

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.

Offer and notice

We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.

Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • The categories the role will buy
  • Office, site and hybrid working pattern
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any presentation
