From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Sittingbourne who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Operations across the South East rely on the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Procurement roles across the South East buy for operations at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
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 Sittingbourne 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
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.
