Procurement Recruitment in Tobermory

Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the Highlands & Islands.

Highlands & Islands

Buyers and category managers in Tobermory

Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.

Across the Highlands & Islands, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the A9 and A82 trunk routes and the northern ferry terminals. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.

We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.

Across the Highlands & Islands, buyers and category managers are hired by whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers.
