Procurement recruitment for Lockerbie employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement employers across southern Scotland include cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lockerbie run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in Scotland moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. 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 arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
