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, they are looking to appoint a buyer on a full-time basis. 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.

You will lead all procurement for materials, plant hire, and fencing supplies across the business. Additionally, you will transition our PO system from Excel to QuickFiles, streamlining the process for the whole team, and manage sub-contractor procurement, particularly for major projects.
We are looking for a proactive, organized procurement professional who loves variety and isn't afraid to take charge of a system rollout.
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).
Excellent negotiation skills with the ability to secure the best value without compromising on quality or deadlines.
Salary: Up to £45,000 (depending on experience)
Perks: Generous Car Allowance & Company Pension Scheme
Time Off: 32 days annual leave
