The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Yate operations supplied at the right price.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Operations across the South West rely on the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Procurement roles across the South West buy for operations at sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester.
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.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Yate 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
