The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Llanelli operations supplied at the right price.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Operations at sites such as the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Across Wales, buyers and category managers are hired by steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Llanelli run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. 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 ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
