Procurement Recruitment in Oldham

The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Oldham operations supplied at the right price.

North West

A procurement recruitment desk for Oldham

We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.

Procurement vacancies across the North West come from retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.

We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.

Procurement roles across the North West buy for operations at sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The brief

Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.

Commercial screen

Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.

References

We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.

Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • The procurement and ERP systems in use
  • Savings and supplier performance targets
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any presentation
