Procurement recruitment for East Kilbride employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Across Scotland, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
The strongest procurement candidates across Scotland are usually already buying for businesses such as whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in East Kilbride run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
