The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Worksop operations supplied at the right price.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Logistics around Worksop is anchored by the Golden Triangle's national distribution centres and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. Across the East Midlands, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
Procurement demand across the East Midlands follows national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Worksop run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.

Not always. Some employers ask for a CIPS qualification and others put more weight on experience. Tell us which matters for your role and we will screen for it.
Influence over commercial decisions, reliable spend data, fair pay and a manager who backs their negotiations.
