Description:

"Salary displayed is a GUIDE and is NEGOTIABLE Depending on Experience *

Our prestigious client from the construction industry has an exciting opportunity for a procurement professional to join their team based in Poole in Dorset.

This is a new position and would suite someone with at least 5 years experience in a senior procurement role from a construction or heavy industry background (particularly dealings in steel).

The aim of the role is to centralise the buying process to capitalise on savings available to bulk buy.

The successful candidate will take full responsibility for all procurement/purchasing, including purchases from utilities, purchases for Sub-subcontracts, equipment and materials, raw steel sections and bought-out fabricated steelwork, painting and galvanizing, decking and pre-cast concrete, steel erection services etc.

Specific responsibilities will include:
"To place orders on back-to-back terms and conditions in relation to Specification and Performance with the Company's Sub-Contracts. This does not apply in relation to payment where more favourable supply chain terms are in existence. See below.
"Operate within the Company's credit terms - 45 days on average across all contracts.
"Attend all departmental and Company launch and co-ordination meetings and provide detailed purchasing reports for the BSL Board meetings. The Co-ordination meetings usually take place weekly and the Board Meetings, monthly.
"To operate within the C+E budgets for all purchasing and to update the Cost & Estimating sheets in relation to purchases for each contract, monthly. This should be done by the second week of each month to assist with the valuation of work in progress and reflect the actual rates/prices/quantities/expenditure that has been ordered. It is recognized that on occasions, it may not be possible to make all purchases within the estimated budget and when such occasions arise, these must be reported to the MD or the FD and further instructions/authorization sought.
"Maintain detailed records of all purchases and transactions, including the provision of up-to date details of steel prices in the Company's data base systems.
"Review the existing assessments and selection processes for supply-chain services, including the establishment of meaningful K.P.I. criteria. It is the Company's policy to reduce the numbers of suppliers we purchase from and to strengthen the trading relationships with those remaining.
"Rebate/volume agreements are to be secured and operated with the Company's "Top-Twenty Suppliers".
"Liaise, co-ordinate and cooperate with other departments/companies including BEL, BLL, BSPL, the BSL Divisions, the Finance Department, the Sales and Estimating Department and the Contracts Divisions. This will include obtaining tender prices from our suppliers at the tender stage of BSL's contracts and to assist the Bid Managers in securing the most competitive positions for the Company
"Assist in developing current and future Company policies/practices in relation to Purchasing.

The above is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the full responsibilities, instead it as an outline but all purchases by the Company will come under the responsibility of the Head of Procurement and much will left to the individuals good sense in the manner in which the purchasing tasks are performed.
