The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Thornaby operations supplied at the right price.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Procurement vacancies across the Tees Valley come from chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
Procurement roles across the Tees Valley buy for operations at sites such as the Newton Aycliffe and Darlington manufacturing estates.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Thornaby run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. 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.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
