• Building and maintaining strong relationships with our supply chain


• Supporting the wider office with procurement\-related administration

• Previous experience in a buying, procurement, or construction admin role (construction sector preferred)


• A good understanding of building materials, plant, and hire — or a genuine eagerness to learn


• Strong organisational skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities across different projects


• Confident communicator — comfortable on the phone chasing suppliers as well as working with internal teams


• Commercially minded with an eye for detail


• Proficient in Microsoft Office; experience with procurement or project management software is a bonus


• A team player who takes ownership and follows things through

• Competitive salary depending on experience


• A genuinely varied and hands\-on role with real career development potential
