Let KHR help you find the perfect job candidate

We are currently working with a leading Kent-based construction company that operates across the South East.

Due to substantial growth, they are looking to recruit an experienced Buyer to join their team on a full-time, permanent basis.

The Buyer will assist with purchasing for the organisation, including processing orders and supply chain management. You will support the Procurement Manager in negotiating the best terms, ensure suppliers have been approved by the company, maintain accurate records of all procurement transactions, monitor spend against job budgets, liaise with project managers regarding materials, quantities, and delivery dates, assist with receipt of deliveries and stock control, and build and maintain relationships with suppliers.

The ideal candidate will have previous procurement or buying experience, ideally within the construction industry (but this is not essential). You will be confident using Outlook and speaking on the phone to suppliers and customers. You will need to be physically fit to bring in deliveries and move stock in the yard where needed. Attention to detail and basic maths skills are essential.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing business that can offer ongoing training and development. Salary will be £27,500 to £30,000 depending on experience. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am – 5 pm.

At KHR, we take care to ensure that you are represented as well as possible, so it is worth checking your CV for layout, spelling, and grammar, as well as making sure it is up to date before you submit. If you feel you need to highlight particular qualifications, skills, or relevant experience with regards to a specific role, please add a cover letter or a preface page. This does not need to be formatted in the same manner. In addition, if your CV is heavy with graphics, please could you also submit a “clean” copy in Word. Thank you.
