Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Rutherglen, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Operations at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
The strongest procurement candidates across Scotland are usually already buying for businesses such as grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.
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.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rutherglen run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.

Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
