One of the UK's most established construction and engineering contractors is looking for a Senior Buyer to strengthen their regional team in Yorkshire. With decades of delivery across major infrastructure and civil engineering projects, this is a business with the scale, pipeline, and ambition to offer a genuinely rewarding procurement career.
Based in Yorkshire and covering a broad regional remit, you will be embedded within a dedicated Commercial and Procurement team, working across both pre-contract and construction stages. This is a hands-on, commercially driven role with real influence over subcontract strategy, supply chain development, and how the business goes to market on major bids and live projects.
If you have a background in subcontract procurement within construction or civil engineering, or you come from a Quantity Surveying background with strong commercial acumen and a solid understanding of NEC or JCT contracts, this is a role worth exploring.

- Developing and issuing ITTs (Invitations to Tender), driving robust bid and tender processes with supply chain partners
- Producing and negotiating subcontracts under NEC3 and NEC4 frameworks, including bonds and warranties
- Building and managing a structured, accredited regional supply chain aligned to project demand and business strategy
- Collaborating closely with project, commercial, and pre-construction teams to develop work package strategies and procurement schedules
- Monitoring supply chain performance, financial health, and market trends to protect the business and identify opportunities
- Contributing to the business's wider group procurement strategy, sharing regional market intelligence and driving continuous improvement

- Strong working knowledge of NEC3 and/or NEC4 contracts; JCT experience also considered
- Proven ability to run end-to-end tender processes including ITTs, negotiations, and contract execution
