Procurement recruitment for Macduff employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Operations across North East Scotland rely on the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Procurement demand across North East Scotland follows energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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 Macduff run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
