The CompanyOur 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 RoleDue 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.

* 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
