The analysts and planners who turn Nairn supply chain data into better decisions.
The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.
Nairn sits in the Highlands and Islands, where the A9, the west-coast ferries and long trunk routes shape how freight actually moves — not the Central Belt motorway network. We recruit the analysts and planners who keep those supply chains balanced.
When the Nairn market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.
With the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles serving the region, supply chains across the Highlands & Islands often plan national flows as well as local ones.
Planning, inventory, analytics and S&OP roles.
We ask candidates what happened to forecast accuracy, stock and service on their watch before we talk about their notice period.
Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
For a new planning function we can recruit the manager and the analysts together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Nairn run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
We benchmark against live offers for similar planning roles, not historic salary data. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any case study, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
A permanent planner learns your products, your customers and your seasonality. That knowledge improves every forecast.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the systems and the data as they are, not as they will be.
