Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Scotland.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Procurement vacancies across Scotland come from whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Businesses operating from sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Larkhall 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.
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.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
