East Coast Construction keen to expand Procurement Team with new Buyer

East Coast Construction is keen to recruit a Buyer to join its busy Procurement Department.

Working on a wide range of civil engineering, groundworks, and demolition and remediation projects; the role will help to support our ongoing delivery and supply chain management.

The position would suit a motivated and organised individual with strong communication skills and a positive attitude. Previous buying experience would be advantageous, but full training and ongoing support will be provided.

The full-timer role is an ideal role for someone looking to develop a long-term career in procurement within the construction industry.

The successful candidate will join a friendly and supportive working environment, and enjoy a generous benefits package - including 25 annual leave days and bank holidays, access to training and development opportunities, and a company pension scheme.

What We’re Looking For

  • A positive, proactive person who works well with others.
  • Good communication and organisational skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and stay calm under pressure.
  • Basic IT skills (Microsoft Office etc.).
  • Previous procurement or construction experience is helpful but not essential, the right attitude is more important.
  • Willingness to learn, ask questions, and develop within the role.

What We Offer

  • Training and development opportunities.
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
