  • Analyse supplier quotations and provide cost comparisons to support tender submissions.
  • Procure materials, plant and subcontract services in line with project requirements.
  • Monitor deliveries and expedite orders where required.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve procurement efficiencies.
  • Produce procurement reports and cost analysis.
  • Assist with material scheduling and purchasing strategies.
  • Provide support and cover for senior members of the procurement team when required.
  • Support the development of junior team members and apprentices.

About You

To be successful in this role, you'll ideally have:

  • Previous purchasing experience within the construction or civil engineering sector.
  • Excellent negotiation and communication skills.
  • Strong organisational and time management abilities.
  • Experience analysing supplier quotations and managing procurement schedules.
  • Good understanding of construction materials and procurement processes.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
  • Experience using procurement or construction management software such as Procore or similar would be advantageous.
  • A full UK driving licence.

What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Long-term career progression.
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment.
  • Opportunity to work on a diverse range of civil engineering and infrastructure projects.
  • Ongoing training and professional development.
