Procurement recruitment for Greenwich employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Operations at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
The strongest procurement candidates across London & the South East are usually already buying for businesses such as last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Greenwich run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every 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.
