We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Fraserburgh and Scotland, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
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.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Procurement roles across North East Scotland buy for operations at sites such as Peterhead and Fraserburgh harbours and the Buchan food-processing belt.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Fraserburgh 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.
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.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
