Procurement recruitment for Redhill employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Across the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
The strongest procurement candidates across the South East are usually already buying for businesses such as Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
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.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Redhill run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
