Planners who protect service levels and working capital at the same time, recruited for Whitburn businesses.
Permanent supply chain hires should leave the plan better than they found it.
Supply chain employers across Scotland include retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
We ask candidates which planning and ERP systems they have used, how they forecast and what they did when the forecast was wrong.
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.
Permanent supply chain roles matched to sector, systems and seniority.
We ask candidates what happened to forecast accuracy, stock and service on their watch before we talk about their notice period.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Whitburn 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 ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.
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.
An empty planning seat costs more than the advert: excess stock, missed sales and firefighting.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the systems and the data as they are, not as they will be.
