The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Innerleithen operations supplied at the right price.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Across southern Scotland, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Across southern Scotland, buyers and category managers are hired by Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Innerleithen run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
