Procurement recruitment for Havering employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Procurement vacancies across London & the South East come from last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
If buying talent is scarce around Havering, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.

Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Havering run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
