Stockport, United Kingdom ENWL Full time

Do you have procurement experience, and are you seeking a new job in Stockport? If so, we'd love to hear from you Electricity North West is looking for a skilled and dedicated Buyer to join our inclusive and vibrant team. This full-time role comes with a salary of up to £45,000 and excellent benefits.

**Our role**

In this procurement role, you will act as a Buyer for a spend category within the Electricity North West Procurement team. The position will initially involve working on projects within the Construction Category, but will ultimately involve working within a matrix structure across other categories based on business demands.

In your first few weeks in this Buyer role, you can expect to:

- Deliver procurement activities of varying size and scope on time and at an affordable cost
- Deliver against the procurement strategy for individual products and services, influencing specification and considering commercial aspects, operational risk, economies of scale, innovation and efficiency
- Act as a point of reference within the business with regard to procurement legislation and procurement best practice, ensuring compliance throughout
- Initiate and manage tender and prequalification exercises to meet business requirements
- Develop, maintain and influence a network of contacts across the business, industry and supplier base.

To succeed in this Buyer job, you will need to be degree educated and professionally qualified in CIPS. You will also require detailed knowledge of procurement processes. In addition, you should have excellent communication skills and analytical ability. An understanding of procurement legislation is also desired but not essential.

In return for your dedication, collaboration and commitment, you will receive a salary of £35K-£45K and a compelling benefits package, joining a welcoming and inclusive culture. We are committed to ensuring our people are supported and are proud of our reward and benefits offer, which includes an annual bonus scheme, 25 days annual leave increasing with length of service, private healthcare, an employee rewards portal offering discounts on several well-known brands, a market leading contributory pension scheme, employee assistance programme and opportunity for professional development through our L&D function.

We’re champions of the North West, and we’re proud that our electricity network connects communities and helps keep the electricity flowing every minute of every day, from when you wake up to when you fall asleep and all the hours in between. A key part of the UK’s journey to net zero carbon is the revolution of our electricity industry, and as the region's network operator, it’s our responsibility to lead the way, help the North West to decarbonise and pave the way for the growth of renewable energy. Together we have the energy to transform our communities. We are switched on. We are adaptable. We take pride.

Due to the nature of this role, the following pre-employment checks will be required, a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and Financial check.

**We reserve the right to close this vacancy early.
