Recruiting buyers in Uddingston

We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.

Procurement vacancies across Scotland come from retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 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.

Businesses operating from sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
