About us
Churchill Living Ltd is a family-run, privately-owned business with ambitious growth plans for the future. We're proud of what we do, and the people we work with. We have a strong presence in the UK retirement house building sector and are looking for experienced professionals to join our team.
We pride ourselves on building beautiful, quality, purpose-built one- and two-bedroom apartments in desirable locations across the UK for those looking for an independent lifestyle in later life. Our developments are designed to take away all the hassle and fears that can be experienced by older people and provide security, peace of mind and independence.
We've won a host of awards; most recently we have been recognised by The Sunday Times as the 3rd best company to work for and in 2016 we became the first ever retirement living specialist to have been named overall 'Housebuilder of the Year' by the WhatHouse? Awards.
About the role
We're looking for an experienced Materials Buyer to cover maternity leave in our South East regional office. You will be responsible for the cost effective and timely purchasing of all materials that are required for our award winning developments.
You will be working closely with the Commercial and Construction departments as well as the Finance and Technical teams, all of which are based in our Byfleet office. You will also develop working relationships with external stakeholders such as all material suppliers and external consultants.
Your duties will include:
- Measuring drawings, taking off quantities, preparing schedules, estimates and other working documents.
- Provide the material costs for the preparation of construction budgets.
- Source suitable suppliers and issuing tender enquiry documents.
- Negotiating proposed order values and new Regional Supply agreements.
There'll be considerable financial work in most aspects of the role, with sole responsibility for producing a monthly forecast report for the Board, as well as the usual budget preparation, scheduling and estimates.
About you
You'll have a background in Construction, with previous experience as a Buyer, preferably in residential development with experience in measuring drawings, preparing bills of quantities and using advanced procurement techniques.
It goes without saying that you will be able to read and understand architect drawings, specification documents and standard detail drawings.
It would be desirable if you had specific knowledge and experience of conventional 3-4 storey masonry construction, with an understanding of Contract law, together with a construction related qualification such as a HNC.
It's essential that you're a commercially astute negotiator, self motivated, able to work under pressure and have the ability to prioritise your workload.
You must also have a valid UK driver's license.
How you'll be rewarded:
- Competitive salary plus commission
- Cash for Car benefit
- Annual holiday entitlement - 24 days pro rata + Bank Holidays
- Day off on your birthday
- Group Personal Pension Plan
- Health Screening
- Life Assurance
- Colleague Introduction reward scheme
- Eye Care Reimbursement
- £200 John Lewis vouchers for expectant parents
- Land Introduction Bonus
- Annual awards ceremony
- Colleague wellbeing programmes and company ambassadors
- Charity fund matching through Churchill Foundation
