We're looking for an experienced buyer to join our in-house construction team, supporting the delivery of high quality homes across multiple developments. Working within the Commercial Team, you'll manage the full material procurement process, ensuring that every development is supplied with the right materials, on time and within budget.

You'll keep up to date with market trends and new products, using your insight to help us make effective supply chain decisions. You'll champion continuous improvement, proactively identifying opportunities to enhance our processes and relationships. You'll also work with our Central Procurement team to explore group purchasing opportunities, ensuring value for money and consistency across our developments.

This role is permanent and full time. You can be based from either of our main offices in Chipping Sodbury or Tewkesbury with some visit sites across Bristol and Gloucestershire.

You will have:

• Proven buyer experience within a house building environment and a solid understanding of buying processes and commercial practice
• Experience of scheduling materials such as 1st and 2nd fix timbers
• Strong IT skills, ideally with experience of COINS and good knowledge of MS Excel
