MEP Buyer If you are tired of being treated like the person who simply raises orders after everyone else has made the important decisions, this is your chance to have far more influence on how projects are delivered. You understand that buying in building services is not an administrative function. It affects programme, margin, supplier performance and site confidence. The right materials, from the right supplier, on the right terms, at the right time can keep a project moving. The wrong approach creates delays, cost leakage and pressure for delivery teams. This role sits within an established London building services contractor with a long-standing presence in the market, delivering mechanical and electrical installations across fit out, refurbishment, design and build, and full MEP packages. Their work spans commercial offices, data centres, education, healthcare, residential, student accommodation, public sector schemes, and sports and leisure environments. That variety matters. It means you will not be buying against one narrow project type or a repetitive supply chain. You will be supporting live works across fast-paced CAT A and CAT B fit out environments as well as more complex building services installations where coordination, timing and supplier reliability are critical. You will be based in head office, working closely with the directors and supporting Project Managers and Site Managers across multiple live jobs. This is where procurement directly supports delivery. You will negotiate with MEP wholesalers and manufacturers, raise orders for materials and plant, manage supplier relationships, resolve issues before they escalate, and help make sure site teams get what they need without unnecessary disruption. You will be a visible part of the delivery process. The business operates across a broad building services offering, including mechanical, electrical and associated specialist systems, with a strong emphasis on coordinated delivery, technical standards and practical project support. In that kind of environment, buying is not a back-office task. It is part of how projects stay commercially controlled and operationally effective. What you will be doing Negotiating terms, pricing, rebates and early settlement arrangements with MEP wholesalers and manufacturers Raising orders for materials, plant hire and subcontractors across multiple live projects Liaising with suppliers to make sure delivery dates are met and site teams are kept informed Analysing monthly spend and helping improve buying performance across the supply chain Entering price confirmations accurately and feeding revised buying terms back to estimating Managing requisitions, order confirmations, delivery notes and invoice queries properly Taking ownership of supplier issues and seeing them through to resolution Monitoring supplier KPIs and giving regular feedback on performance Maintaining strong commercial confidentiality at all times Why this role stands out This will suit someone who wants to be closer to the commercial and operational heartbeat of a project business. You are not being brought in to sit quietly in the background. You will deal with directors, project teams, wholesalers, manufacturers and suppliers every day. Your work will have a direct effect on how efficiently projects are delivered and how well the business buys across its supply chain. It should also appeal to someone who prefers a more hands-on contractor environment. The structure appears to be one where leadership remains close to delivery, which usually gives a buyer more visibility, more accountability and more opportunity to make a genuine impact than a heavily layered corporate set-up. What they are likely to want from you You will probably already have buying or procurement experience within mechanical, electrical or wider building services contracting. You should be confident negotiating with suppliers, comfortable managing multiple live priorities, and organised enough to keep control of orders, paperwork and communication without needing constant oversight. Just as importantly, you will need sound judgement. This role needs someone commercially aware, dependable and proactive, with the confidence to deal professionally with directors, estimators, project managers, site managers and suppliers. Strong Excel, Word and general office-based administration skills matter, but what will make you effective here is your ability to keep things moving, solve problems properly and protect delivery without creating unnecessary noise. What Next If you are a Buyer in the building services market and you want a role where procurement has genuine impact on project delivery, commercial performance and supplier strategy, this is well worth a conversation. If that sounds like the kind of step you have been looking for, apply today or get in touch for a confidential discussion.
