The Role
You'll be responsible for leading the company's procurement, stores and facilities functions, ensuring materials, equipment and services are purchased competitively, stock is effectively managed and our premises continue to operate safely and efficiently.

- Preparing materials for engineers and project teams accurately and efficiently.
- Opening the stores each morning and operating the forklift safely (training will be provided if required).
- Managing commercial utility contracts and negotiating competitive rates.
- Arranging utility renewals, submitting meter readings and monitoring ongoing expenditure.
- Coordinating routine site maintenance and facilities management.
- Managing waste disposal and ensuring the stores, warehouse and yard remain safe, organised and efficient.
- Driving continuous improvement initiatives that reduce costs, improve efficiency and simplify business processes.
- Supporting colleagues across the wider business wherever required.
