* Maintain accurate records of quotations, supplier information and communications.
* Work closely with Lead Estimators, the wider Work Winning team and the Group Buyer to identify competitive and innovative solutions.
* Coordinate with the internal Buying Department to support a smooth transition from tender stage through to project delivery.
* Manage enquiry deadlines across several live tenders and projects.
Qualifications:
* The ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
* Experience of, or an interest in, measuring and taking off quantities from drawings.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills.
* The confidence to communicate effectively with suppliers and subcontractors on a daily basis.
* Excellent organisational and record-keeping skills.
* Strong attention to detail.
* The ability to prioritise tasks and manage competing deadlines.
* A collaborative approach and the ability to work closely with estimators, buyers and other members of the Pre-Construction team.
* Previous experience within construction, civil engineering, estimating, procurement or buying would be beneficial, although training and development will be provided.
Benefits:
* Competitive salary
* Company pension
* Life assurance
* Career development and training opportunities
