Regional Buyer

Job Introduction: We are looking to recruit an experienced Regional Buyer to support our continued growth by maximising profits through effective management of the supply chain in accordance with the commercial procedures.

The role of Regional Buyer is to provide an efficient and effective centralised and dynamic procurement service to regional operating teams to support the regional and Group business plan, build delivery programmes, commercial objectives, budgets, and future growth requirements.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the fastest-growing home builders, operating across the Midlands and the north of England.

Main Responsibilities: As a Regional Buyer, you will:

* Provide an efficient and effective Group procurement service that ensures all regional operations and sites receive the necessary support for all centralised group deals and related group procurement matters, ensuring that value is being added by the Buying team.

* Ensure the integrated delivery of Group procurement services as related to new and existing developments, ensuring the optimal use of Group deals and associated discounts and service and the effective control and compliance with the group order approval process, material/product/plant specification, nominated suppliers, etc.

* Be available to provide operational support and assistance to regional buying teams, being a key point of contact for advisory and technical support in relation to Group procured items and associated services.

* Work closely with regional and Group commercial teams to provide, monitor, and control the group/bulk material budget information and expenditure for each site as per the commercial approval process.

Sufficient time is allocated to the monitoring and assisting regional teams in resolving supplier, delivery, and invoice queries arising, and that the overall level of queries does not become unacceptable or counter-productive to the efficient operation of the wider buying function.
