The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Elgin 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.
Procurement vacancies across North East Scotland come from offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
If buying talent is scarce around Elgin, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Businesses operating from sites such as Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Elgin run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. 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 help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
