Procurement Manager

Description:

The Company
Our client is a well-established roofing and cladding contractor operating across the North East, working on projects for principal/Tier 1 contractors. It's a relaxed, sociable working culture.

The Role
Due to continued growth, our client is looking to appoint a Procurement Manager to take ownership of material and plant purchasing across live projects. This is a newly created role bringing together buying and contracts coordination into one position, working closely with the existing Contracts Manager, site teams and suppliers.

Key Responsibilities

* Take full ownership of material and plant procurement across live projects, in line with programme requirements

* Coordinate deliveries, maintain stock records and liaise with the warehouse manager, suppliers and the in-house fabrication team

* Build and maintain key supplier relationships, including regular spend reviews and developing new suppliers

* Develop bulk buying programmes for key and preliminary materials

* Maintain accurate project documentation, schedules and progress reports

* Manage the commercial side of procurement — obtaining quotes, signing off invoices and agreeing supplier credit limits

* Act as the key point of contact between the project team and suppliers, resolving any issues or delays

* Support the Contracts Manager with day-to-day project coordination

What We're Looking For

* Experience in buying, procurement, contracts coordination or project administration — construction industry background preferred

* Comfortable managing change and adapting to a growing, evolving business

* Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities

* A confident communicator, happy to pick up the phone rather than rely solely on email

* Proficient in Microsoft Office/Excel; experience with project management software is an advantage

Our client is open to candidates from a range of backgrounds and is more focused on the right attitude and approach
