Supply chain recruitment for Linlithgow employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.
Supply chain roles are judged on forecast accuracy, service levels and stock. We recruit people who move all three.
Supply chain vacancies across Scotland come from retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each needs planners who can balance service against cost.
When the Linlithgow market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.
With the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen serving the region, supply chains across Scotland often plan national flows as well as local ones.
Supply chain roles for retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce.
We confirm which planning and ERP systems candidates use, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
Indicative permanent salaries in Linlithgow run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Supply chain pay in Scotland moves with seniority, sector and scope: planners who own S&OP or large inventories usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
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.
Contract cover suits a short project. A permanent hire is the answer when the business needs someone to own the plan.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
