Global Highland • Permanent • Inverness, Highland, Scotland, United Kingdom • £26k - £28k / year • 1d ago

Global Highland is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of their clienta well-established and forward-thinking company delivering essential infrastructure projects across the UK. Renowned for their commitment to quality, teamwork and continuous improvement, our client offers a supportive working environment where employees are valued, developed and encouraged to build long-term careers.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to begin or develop a career in procurement and construction support. Whether you already have experience in a builder's merchant environment or you're a motivated individual with a strong work ethic who is eager to learn, this role offers genuine opportunities for growth within a busy and collaborative team.

The Role

As a Procurement Administrator, you'll provide vital administrative support to the Procurement Department, ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of procurement activities. You'll work closely with sites, suppliers and internal teams to help coordinate materials, deliveries and plant hire, ensuring projects remain on programme and within budget.

You'll also play an important role in managing the company fleet, coordinating servicing, maintenance, tax and insurance to keep vehicles operating efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

Providing general administrative support to the Procurement Department.
Raising purchase orders and receipting orders.
Managing supplier enquiries and using online procurement portals.
Communicating with suppliers via telephone and email.
Monitoring purchase orders and delivery progress.
Responding to new material enquiries.
Researching and assisting with the onboarding of new suppliers.
Supporting the management of hired plant.
Identifying low-value, long-term plant hires.
Arranging servicing, maintenance, tax and insurance for the company vehicle fleet.
Assisting with invoice processing and resolving invoice queries.
Providing backup support for receipting materials for site teams.
Coordinating deliveries using company vehicles and external suppliers.
Updating procurement trackers and maintaining accurate records.
Monitoring and maintaining PPE stock levels.

About You

We're looking for someone who is organised, enthusiastic and ready to develop within a fast-paced environment.

You'll ideally have:

Excellent organisational and administrative skills.
Strong attention to detail.
The ability to prioritise tasks and react quickly to changing demands.
Excellent communication skills.
A positive, proactive attitude and willingness to learn.
The ability to work effectively as part of a team.

Experience within a builder's merchant or construction supply environment would be advantageous, as it provides a good understanding of the products and pace of the industry. However, this is very much an entry-level opportunity, and we welcome applications from individuals who are keen to learn, hardworking and committed to building a successful career.

What's on Offer?

Excellent opportunity to start a career within procurement.
Supportive and experienced team.
Ongoing training and development.
Career progression opportunities.
Opportunity to work for a respected and growing infrastructure business.
Competitive salary and benefits package.

If you're looking for a role where your enthusiasm, work ethic and willingness to learn are valued just as much as your experience, we'd love to hear from you.
