We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Livingston and Scotland, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Procurement vacancies across Scotland come from grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
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.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Livingston 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
