ABOUT THE ROLE
I have been asked to recruit a Buyer for this specialist reinforced concrete frame, infrastructure and groundwork subcontractor. This position has a crucial part to play in the businesses 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 preconstruction management to organise what materials are needed and when, and then working with suppliers to get the required items to 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, late or wrong!
Therefore, this opportunity will suit someone who has worked for a rival concrete frame, civil engineering, or groundwork subcontractor in a procurement role already, and someone who is looking to join a well set up business as part of a larger team. I need someone who has the rival knowledge so both the prices of products are familiar but also the operating methods of a concrete frame and groundwork business are second nature too.
REQUIREMENTS
The criteria I have been asked to keep to is simple:
1. Any applicants must have worked for a rival concrete frame, civil engineering or groundwork subcontractor in Scotland to be considered, in a procurement role.
2. You should have an understanding of the various products that you will be buying in this role and a rough understanding of their current market rates.
3. You need to be based within a commutable distance to our client’s office in Glasgow.
Outside of that, I am open to talking to any interested parties.
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
For this position, we are targeting individuals looking to earn anywhere from £40,000 to £60,000 per annum (depending on experience). Specific salary will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis with experience and suitability taken into account. Furthermore, there will be a generous package offered; travel allowance OR company vehicle in addition to company benefits and bonuses. This role is open to self-employed or PAYE payment methods (including limited company setups).
But aside from the earning potential, this opportunity really does offer the right individual exciting career options with a fantastic organisation.
