Supply chain recruitment for Elgin employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.
Every supply chain candidate we put forward is screened on the plans they owned and the results that followed.
The market around Elgin is dominated by Aberdeen's harbour and energy supply chain, with agri-food and chilled distribution close behind. We recruit the analysts and planners who keep those supply chains balanced.
Building a planning team from scratch? We can recruit the analysts and the manager together so the cycle runs from month one.
Employers supplied from sites such as Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.
The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
A short list with notes on sector, systems and the results each candidate delivered.
Indicative permanent salaries in Elgin run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Heads of supply chain earn well above planners. FMCG and retail often pay more than smaller manufacturers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
Strong analysts become planners and planners become managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.
Strong planners value clean data, a seat at the S&OP table and a manager who acts on the numbers.
