Job Description
Buyer / Senior Buyer Residential Groundwork Subcontractor
£50,000 - £60,000 + Full Benefits
Northern Home Counties Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and surrounding areas
About the Company:
This position will be based at our client's head office in the Northern Home Counties (near Toddington). The business currently turns over in excess of £150 million per annum, and has a reputation for a modern and quality-focused approach. They have live projects with a variety of the top house-builders in the UK and have a full pipeline secured for 2026 going into 2027.
Having met the directors of the business, I can confidently say this groundwork contractor is looking to stand out from their competition, harnessing innovation, a fresh brand image, and a focus on being the best at what it does. I have heard this not only from people who work at this company, but also from people who work for several of the main competitors!
About the Role:
I have been asked to recruit a Buyer for this specialist groundwork subcontractor. This position has a crucial part to play in the business's ability to operate smoothly, as you will be a central link between the suppliers and the sites.
Day-to-day duties will include speaking with site teams, operational management and preconstruction management to organise what materials are needed and when and then working with suppliers to get the required items to the site on time at the best price.
An organised and efficient mind is needed to work practically with site teams to make sure not only are materials ordered at competitive prices, but also that they arrive on site when needed. No one wants deliveries turning up early, late or wrong!
Therefore, this opportunity will suit someone who has worked for a groundwork subcontractor in a procurement role already, and someone who is looking to join a well-established business as part of a larger team. I need someone who has the rival knowledge, so both the prices of products are familiar, but also the operating methods of a groundwork business are second nature too.
About the Requirements:
To be successful, individuals need to have worked for rival groundwork subcontractors in the UK as a Buyer or Senior Buyer. Your hard work will be rewarded, and opportunity will be there, but previous experience in this sector is a must.
Due to the location of our client s office, it is also advisable that applicants are based in or around the Bedfordshire or Hertfordshire area (or have the ability to be based near there for work).
About the Benefits:
For this opportunity, I am targeting someone looking to earn between £50,000 and £60,000 per annum (depending on how much experience you have gained). This bracket has been provided by the client. In addition to this, our client is offering a comprehensive package including the usual benefits such as pension, travel allowance, etc.
But aside from the earning potential, this opportunity really does offer the right individual exciting career options with a fantastic organisation.
How to Apply:
I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector, and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discreet.
Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway (including who the employer is), but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.

About Me, Your Consultant:
My name is Andrew Jackson, and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 20 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition.
So, what does that mean for you? It means you won t be trusting your career to someone who doesn t understand the market. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK, and I can not only introduce you, but I can also give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I ve been doing this for a fair while now, and I ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I don t tell people whatever it takes; I tell them the truth. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then let you decide what feels right.
