Procurement recruitment for Hartlepool employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Across the Tees Valley, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Teesport container terminal and the Hartlepool and Billingham industrial areas. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
If buying talent is scarce around Hartlepool, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
With the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport carrying the region's freight, buyers across the Tees Valley often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hartlepool 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
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.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
