- You will have a proactive, ‘can-do’ approach and energy - this is essential to ensure delivery at pace and to a high quality.
- Be able to demonstrate problem solving abilities; active listening skills and effective, tailored engagement approaches.
- Ideally, you will be professionally MCIPS qualified or working towards this.
- You will have experience of working in a construction or engineering procurement environment would be desirable but not essential.
- Looking out for you
- Do you hold a CIPS qualification? Or are you working towards MCIPS status? We are passionate about professional development and will pay for you to study and sit exams, and will also pay the cost of your annual membership. Although this job is flexible, we bring our Procurement team together every Wednesday and on alternating Mondays in Stepps.
- The Procurement Team in Scottish Water is envied for its promotional opportunities. We have an ethos of developing our enthusiastic and talented people and creating the right opportunities for them to grow and progress through the organisational structure right through to management level in some cases.
- The salary range for this position is £35,384 - £47,924 depending on experience.
- While the work we do is important, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. That’s why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.
- You’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take time off to volunteer in your community.
- When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working. For your future, there’s our pension (the ‘know-what-you’ll-get-when-you-retire’ kind), and life assurance. As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not
