We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Redcar and the North East, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Procurement vacancies across the Tees Valley come from chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Businesses operating from sites such as Teesport and the Teesside Freeport estates compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Redcar run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
