Regional Buyer London SE presso Carey Group

At Careys Civil Engineering, we’re looking for a Regional Buyer to join our Procurement Team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a professional Buyer,  who’s ready to take the next step, broaden their experience, and build their career with a business recognised for being a trusted and socially responsible construction partner.

 

The Role

 

As a Regional Buyer, you’ll support our projects by making sure the right materials, plant, and subcontract services are sourced at the right time, cost, and quality. You’ll work closely with estimators, project teams, and suppliers to ensure everything runs smoothly – from tender stage through to delivery on site.

 

What matters most in this role is commercial awareness, relationship building and a drive to learn and improve.

Provide accurate material pricing and market advice to support tenders.

 

Source and purchase materials, plant, and subcontract services for live projects.

 

Build strong relationships with suppliers and subcontractors.

 

Manage quotes, comparisons, and procurement schedules.

 

Keep procurement data accurate in our COINS system.

 

Work closely with project and commercial teams to meet deadlines.

 

Support sustainability goals by considering carbon reduction in procurement decisions.

 

We’re looking for someone who has:

 

Buying/procurement experience in construction or civil engineering.

 

Great negotiation and communication skills.

 

The ability to juggle multiple priorities and deadlines.

 

Good IT skills – ideally with ERP systems (COINS experience a bonus).

 

An interest in sustainability and innovation in procurement.

 

 

Nice to have (but not essential): CIPS Level 4 or above, knowledge of NEC/JCT contracts, and experience in groundworks or concrete frames.

At Careys, you’ll be part of a supportive team that wants you to succeed. You’ll get exposure to a wide range of projects, build strong supplier relationships, and have the opportunity to shape your career in procurement. We’ll invest in your development and give you the chance to grow with us, while working in an environment that values collaboration, sustainability, and innovation.
