The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Nottingham operations supplied at the right price.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Procurement vacancies across Nottinghamshire come from national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Procurement roles across Nottinghamshire buy for operations at sites such as the M1 corridor parks, East Midlands Gateway and the distribution sites around Junction 26.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Nottingham 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.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
