From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Middlesbrough who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Across the Tees Valley, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Teesport and the Teesside Freeport estates. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Procurement demand across the Tees Valley follows chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Middlesbrough 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
