About the Opportunity

I have been asked to recruit a Buyer for this specialist reinforced concrete frame and groundwork subcontractor. This position plays a crucial part in the business’s ability to operate smoothly, as you will be a central link between the suppliers and the sites.

Day‑to‑day duties will include speaking with site teams, operational management and pre‑construction management to organise what materials are needed and when, then working with suppliers to get the required items to the site on time at the best price. Usual materials and plant include steel, concrete, muck‑away, etc.

An organised and efficient mind is needed to work practically with site teams to make sure not only are materials ordered at competitive prices, but also that they arrive on site when needed. No one wants deliveries turning up early, Cancun or wrong!

About the Requirements

• Have worked for a rival concrete frame or groundwork subcontractor in the UK in a procurement role.
• Have an understanding of the various products you will be buying and a rough understanding of their current market rates.
• Be based within a commutable distance to our client's office in North West London (Middlesex).

Outside of that, I am open to talking to any interested parties.
