Who we're looking for:
Good knowledge of the construction industry and suppliers

Ability to negotiate good terms with potential suppliers
Knowledge of incoterms would be a plus as we ship products across the world

Strong excel skills (bid tabulations, pivot tables, vlookups)
Experience in African or Middle East construction projects a big plus
No professional qualifications required
Please note this is a full time office based role.
