As a Senior Materials Buyer you will be mainly working to agreed terms with building suppliers, but there will be times when you need to source new materials from different suppliers. For this role you will need to have at least 5 years experience within a construction buying role, be able to take off from drawings, schedule materials to site and be able to analyse quotes to agree the best price for the materials. You must be able to place the orders in a timely manner to ensure there are no delays to the construction programmes. This company has a very settled working environment and has a healthy pipeline of new projects for the future.
