Your new role
We're seeking a Procurement Officer who's more than just organised and efficient-we want a proactive force who can optimise procurement workflows, challenge the status quo, and elevate the way our client operates. This role is your opportunity to take ownership, lead initiatives, and play a strategic part in pushing the company forward.
MAIN DUTIES:
* Take ownership of the procurement function: improve, streamline, and modernise how we source materials and services.
* Drive cost-efficiency through data-led supplier analysis, negotiations, and strategic sourcing.
* Foster supplier excellence: develop robust partnerships with vendors and lead supplier performance reviews.
* Enhance procurement systems: identify process inefficiencies and lead improvements, especially using tools like Sage Professional.
* Collaborate across departments to anticipate procurement needs and deliver timely, budget-friendly solutions.
* Lead stock, tool, and fleet management with precision and accountability.
* Monitor and optimise hired plant and equipment for cost-effectiveness and availability.
What you'll need to succeed
* Proven procurement experience-bonus if it's in mechanical, engineering, or construction sectors.
* Demonstrated ability to take initiative, lead improvements, and implement process changes.
* Commercial acumen with strong negotiation and supplier relationship management skills.
* Experience using procurement or ERP systems (Sage Professional preferred).
* A problem-solver who thrives on autonomy, owns their workload, and delivers results.
What you'll get in return
* Empowerment & Growth: This role isn't about maintaining the status quo-it's about leading change. You'll be trusted to innovate and drive real results.
* Professional Development: Access to training, upskilling, and career progression pathways.
* Supportive Culture: Join a team where your voice matters, your work is valued, and your success is our success.
* Dynamic Environment: Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn and contribute.
