Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Greenock, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Procurement vacancies across Scotland come from retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Greenock run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
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.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
