We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Forres and Scotland, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Across North East Scotland, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Procurement demand across North East Scotland follows offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Forres 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.
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.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
