plant and equipment.

  • Compliance: Ensure all hired plant meets required safety standards and is certified for use on all

relevant sites.

Supply Chain and Stakeholder Management

  • Supplier Relations: Maintain and enhance relationships with our established supply chain (for

materials and plant hire), ensuring transparency regarding current and future build program

requirements.

  • Performance Monitoring: Regularly review supplier performance, pricing, quality, and

commitment to sustainability to ensure the best value for the business.

  • Reporting: Provide regular updates on purchasing and plant management progress, potential

risks, and cost savings opportunities to senior management.

Essential Skills and Experience:

  • Proven experience as a Buyer, ideally within the Modular Construction, M&E, or Manufacturing

  • Demonstrable experience managing plant hire logistics and contracts across multiple remote
