If you already know the livestock industry and want to develop the commercial side of your career, this is an opportunity to combine your agricultural knowledge with procurement and relationship management.

You won’t be confined to a desk. A significant part of the role involves getting out into the agricultural community, visiting farms, speaking directly with producers and developing long-term supplier relationships.

You’ll also gain exposure to the wider food manufacturing process, developing an understanding of how livestock procurement connects with supply chain, animal welfare, production, carcass yields, customer specifications and production planning.

Joining an established procurement team, you’ll have the opportunity to build on your existing livestock knowledge while developing further commercially within a major food manufacturing environment.

You’ll take responsibility for a broad livestock procurement remit, including:

• Procuring cattle and sheep from livestock suppliers through regular farm visits and direct communication.

• Working with farmers, livestock agents, hauliers and other suppliers to coordinate livestock deliveries.

• Ensuring livestock is sourced in accordance with relevant farm assurance requirements.

• Monitoring livestock quality, availability and wider market conditions.

• Providing livestock procurement advice and market information to management when required.

• Ensuring animal welfare legislation and company procedures are followed in relation to the safe movement and handling of livestock.

• Attending agricultural shows and other relevant industry events.

About the business
Our client is an established food manufacturing business with a significant presence across the UK.

Agriculture and livestock procurement sit at the heart of its operation, with the business working closely with farmers and suppliers to maintain a consistent supply of high-quality livestock for its customer base.

The business continues to invest in its operations and supply network, making this an opportunity to join an established procurement function where strong relationships with the agricultural community are fundamental to its success.

You’ll be joining a business that can also give you exposure beyond livestock purchasing, allowing you to develop your understanding of the wider journey from farm through to finished product.

What are they looking for?
Essential

• Previous experience working within the livestock or agricultural sector.

• Practical knowledge of cattle and/or sheep.

• Experience that could come from livestock buying, farming, agricultural markets, auctioneering or a closely related livestock background.

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to work directly with farmers and suppliers.

• Commercial awareness and an interest in developing further within livestock procurement.

• Highly motivated, ambitious and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment.

• Strong organisational and time-management skills.

• The ability to work independently and manage a role involving regular travel.

• Pension scheme.

• Free on-site parking.

• Employee Assistance Programme.

• Permanent, full-time position.

• A varied role combining livestock, agriculture, procurement and food manufacturing.

• The opportunity to develop your commercial and procurement experience within an established food manufacturing business.

• Exposure to the wider supply chain and manufacturing process.

• The opportunity to build long-term relationships across the Scottish agricultural community.
