Procurement recruitment for Hamilton 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.
Hamilton sits in Scotland, where the Central Belt's Eurocentral freight park and the M8 corridor handle the bulk of the country's distribution. Across Scotland, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
With the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen carrying the region's freight, buyers across Scotland often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hamilton run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
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.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
