The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Selby operations supplied at the right price.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Logistics around Selby is anchored by the M62 corridor, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Across Yorkshire, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the M1 and A1(M) junction estates across South and West Yorkshire.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Procurement demand across Yorkshire follows retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Selby 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
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.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
