Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the North East.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Operations across the North East rely on the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
Procurement roles across the North East buy for operations at sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
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.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Jarrow 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
For Jarrow businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
