Job Title:

Group Procurement Manager

Location: Dublin or London (with some travel across UK & Ireland)

Reporting To: Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Experience Required: 5–10 years in a centralised procurement or purchasing leadership role

About W.H. Scott Group:

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.

Role Overview:

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.
- Promote planned purchasing practices to reduce unnecessary urgent buying and encourage long-term forecasting.

Category & Supplier Management

- Manage procurement across core spend categories: fuel, fleet, workwear, tools, inventory, office supplies, IT, utilities, hotels, fit out and more.
- Apply the 80/20 rule—focus on building strategic relationships with key suppliers, driving 80% of spend through 20% of partners.
- Negotiate and implement supplier deals, group-wide contracts, and rebate agreements.
- Attend tradeshows and ensure that our current range is evolving to meet the demands of expanding customer base.

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).
