About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Purchasing Officer to manage procurement of building materials, oversee stock levels, and coordinate logistics across our manufacturing operations.

• Use our online accounting/ERP system to monitor the Production Program and anticipate stock level requirements ahead of need
• Enter all purchase orders and receipt goods accurately and promptly through the online system
• Coordinate inbound and outbound logistics, including freight, delivery scheduling, and liaising with transport providers
• Liaise with customers ahead of delivery to ensure sites are ready, and detail what is required to take delivery of the building/s
• Negotiate pricing, payment terms, and lead times with suppliers; build and maintain strong supplier relationships
• Maintain accurate procurement records, purchase order logs, and supplier documentation
• Work closely with production and project management to forecast material needs and avoid stockouts or overordering
• Identify opportunities to improve purchasing processes, reduce costs, and improve supply chain reliability

About You

• Good understanding of the construction and assembly processes.
• Tech-savvy, with hands-on experience using online accounting/ERP systems in a manufacturing environment
• Strong understanding of stock/inventory management principles

• Excellent negotiation and supplier relationship management skills
• Highly organised, with strong attention to detail and follow-through
• Comfortable using ERP/purchasing software and Excel
• Clear, confident communicator, able to manage multiple suppliers and priorities at once
• A proactive, problem-solving approach — someone who chases things down rather than waiting for updates
