We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Stonehaven and Scotland, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Across North East Scotland, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
If buying talent is scarce around Stonehaven, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Procurement demand across North East Scotland follows offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stonehaven run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
