Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the Highlands & Islands and their supply chains.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Procurement vacancies across the Highlands & Islands come from distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. 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.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tarbert run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
