We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Whitburn and Scotland, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
From whisky and food-and-drink to energy logistics, employers around Whitburn compete for experienced permanent people across Scotland. Across Scotland, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Procurement demand across Scotland follows retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Whitburn run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
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.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
