W.H. Scott Group is a market leader in inspection and lifting solutions, delivering high-quality products and services across the UK and Ireland. With a focus on safety, efficiency, and technical excellence, we support a wide range of industries with critical equipment and compliance services. As the business continues to grow, we are seeking a commercially astute Group Procurement Manager to centralise and optimise our procurement strategy across the group.

This newly created role will report directly to the CFO and lead the development of a group-wide procurement function. You'll play a key role in establishing structured purchasing processes, consolidating suppliers, and driving commercial value through strategic sourcing and cost control.

Key Responsibilities:Procurement Leadership
  • Establish a central procurement framework and implement an effective requisition approval system across the Group.

Cost Control & Process Improvement
  • Deliver measurable cost savings through smarter procurement and supplier consolidation.
  • Introduce streamlined, compliant procurement processes with clear visibility and control.
  • Work closely with operational teams to align procurement activity with business needs.
Stakeholder Engagement
  • Partner with managers across sites to understand requirements, set purchasing expectations, and implement best practices.
  • Educate internal stakeholders on procurement policies and the value of strategic sourcing.
What We're Looking For:
  • 5–10 years' experience in a central procurement or purchasing leadership role, ideally in industrial, construction, or engineering sectors.
  • Proven ability to implement procurement systems, negotiate contracts, and lead supplier consolidation initiatives.
  • Strong commercial and analytical mindset with a practical, hands-on approach.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills across operational and senior leadership levels.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to Dublin or London, with flexibility to travel as needed.
Desirable:
  • Experience in inspection, lifting, safety equipment, or technical services industries.
  • Knowledge of procurement tools and systems.
  • Professional qualifications (e.g. CIPS or equivalent).
