Subcontract and material buyer required for leading building contractor

Your new company
Hays are delighted to be working again with the Plymouth office of a leading national builder that offers design and build construction solutions across a range of sectors, including retail, commercial and civil projects. The company ethos is focused on delivering high levels of sustainability, innovative design and customer satisfaction - many of their clients are regular, repeat users of their services. As a result of continued, controlled expansion, they require the services of an enthusiastic, energetic buyer to join their established procurement team.

Your new role
Based from their modern offices in South Devon, you will be taking on the role of Buyer with responsibility for the procurement of subcontract services, specialist plant and materials. Duties will include issuing enquiries to subcontractors and suppliers, appraising responses and negotiating the best prices possible with a view to minimising costs/ maximising profitability for your new employer.

What you'll need to succeed
You'll need to be comfortable, confident and articulate working on the phone, be commercially switched-on in order to recognise the best deals available and have experience utilising procurement software such as Redsky or similar packages. Experience as a buyer in the construction industry is of real benefit, although our client are also keen to speak to individuals who may recently have completed a degree in construction management or quantity surveying and are looking to move into the exciting, fast-paced field of procurement.

What you'll get in return
Peace of mind and security are two major benefits on offer, as in spite of the challenges that have affected the wider construction industry in recent months, our client have continued to go from strength to strength. You'll receive support and mentoring from a very approachable, affable senior commercial team and be provided with real opportunities for career advancement as you grow in ability and experience.
