Ready to take full ownership of procurement for a growing, fast-paced civil engineering and fencing contractor? Our client is a thriving contractor, delivering vital infrastructure projects across Scotland. Due to a significant increase in workload, we are looking to appoint a buyer on a full-time basis. This is an office-based role in Clydebank. This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a brand-new role, shape our procurement processes from the ground up, and become a key player in our close-knit, lively team.
As main buyer, you will manage the entire purchasing function for the business. Your daily focus will be sourcing materials and managing supply chains for our core sectors: civils (primarily access roads - no residential groundworks) and commercial fencing.

Experience:
- Proven track record as a Buyer within civil engineering, utilities or fencing sectors.
- Tech-Savvy: Strong Excel skills and experience implementing or using digital purchasing/accounting systems (QuickFiles experience is a major plus, but training will be given).
- Commercially Minded: Excellent negotiation skills with the ability to secure the best value without compromising on quality or deadlines.
- Team Player: Someone who thrives in a collaborative, communicative environment.
What's on Offer?
