Supply Chain Recruitment in Durham

Supply chain recruitment for Durham employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.

North East

Permanent supply chain managers for Durham

Every supply chain candidate we put forward is screened on the plans they owned and the results that followed.

Supply chain vacancies across the North East come from automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each needs planners who can balance service against cost.

When the Durham market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.

With the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport serving the region, supply chains across the North East often plan national flows as well as local ones.

From analysts to heads of supply chain

The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.

Matched to your sector

A shortlist you can use

Through the first months

What supply chain professionals earn in Durham
