Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the North East.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement vacancies across the North East come from automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Businesses operating from sites such as the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Seaham run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. 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 arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
