Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Scotland.

Scotland

Buyers and category managers in Motherwell

Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.

From whisky and food-and-drink to energy logistics, employers around Motherwell compete for experienced permanent people across Scotland. Across Scotland, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse.

If buying talent is scarce around Motherwell, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.

Procurement demand across Scotland follows whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs.

A strong procurement brief covers:
