Supply Chain Recruitment in Duns

Permanent supply chain and planning recruitment across southern Scotland.

southern Scotland

Duns supply chain recruitment

We look for people who have planned in your sector: retail, FMCG, manufacturing or e-commerce.

Across southern Scotland, supply chain roles often sit alongside operations at sites such as the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M). We search for planners who know that environment.

A supply chain offer competes with retailers, manufacturers and consultancies. We help set salary and bonus so it lands first time.

Supply chain demand across southern Scotland follows cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains.

How we work with Duns businesses

A shortlist of people who can plan and persuade

Matched to your sector

Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.

Influence tested

Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.

Hybrid terms agreed early

Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.

Pay benchmarks

What supply chain professionals earn in Duns

Indicative permanent salaries in Duns run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.

A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.

Technical screen

Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.

Settling in

We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

Contract cover suits a short project. A permanent hire is the answer when the business needs someone to own the plan.

When a planning role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the systems or the scope is the obstacle. Then we tell you.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The sector and the products planned
  • The planning cycle and who attends S&OP
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
