  • Implement and execute strategies to enhance financial performance and support growth.
  • Conduct market research and competitive analysis to stay ahead of trends and risks.
  • Work closely with both internal teams and external suppliers to ensure operational success and customer satisfaction.
  • Deliver tendering and procurement processes in line with EU regulations and departmental targets.
  • Highlight opportunities and risks to improve procurement activities and outcomes.
  • Develop and maintain continuous engagement with suppliers and customers to drive collaboration and resolve disputes.
  • Ensure compliance with legal and operational contract requirements.
  • Support marketing and communication strategies to promote category plans and sales activities.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience within Construction.
  • A proactive, detail-oriented individual with excellent communication skills and a passion for problem-solving.
  • Experience in procurement, managing contracts, and supplier relationships, particularly in the context of consortium projects.
  • A strong knowledge of EU procurement regulations, tendering, and contract processes.
  • Analytical and organized, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deliver results within deadlines.
  • A degree or equivalent experience in a relevant field is preferred, with a full driving license being desirable.
  • Competence in Excel (pivot tables, reporting, and ideally VBA, macros) and the ability to carry out market research and analysis.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • A dynamic and collaborative work environment
  • Opportunities to travel and gain new experiences

If you're ready to take your career in procurement to the next level and contribute to the success of an innovative, forward-thinking company, we’d love to hear from you.
