The analysts and planners who turn Edinburgh supply chain data into better decisions.

Lothians

Recruiting supply chain planners in Edinburgh

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

Businesses supplied through sites such as the M8 and M9 corridor parks, Newbridge and the Forth ports depend on forecasts that hold up. We match planners to that pressure.

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 the Lothians follows grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.

Systems experience

We confirm which planning and ERP systems candidates use, so there is no hidden learning curve.

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.

The search

We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.

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

References that matter

We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Strong analysts become planners and planners become managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.

  • The main problem the new hire should fix
