Procurement recruitment for Huntingdon 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.
Procurement vacancies across the East of England come from container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
With the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport carrying the region's freight, buyers across the East of England often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Huntingdon 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.
For Huntingdon businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
