Procurement Coordinator
Salary: £28,000–£30,000 | Permanent | Monday–Friday, 7:30am–4pm
Location: Pensilva, Liskeard | Free on-site parking
Pertemps are assisting a construction business with a family-run feel, where people come first and staff development is valued. We’re looking for a proactive, organised Procurement Coordinator who can manage changing workloads, adapt to delays, and keep construction projects running smoothly.
The Role
You’ll play a key part in ensuring materials, suppliers, and schedules are aligned across projects. Construction is unpredictable, with weather delays and shifting priorities, so you’ll need to be flexible, solutions-focused, and able to reprioritise work at short notice.
Key Responsibilities:
Procurement & Materials Management
* Source timber, engineered wood, panel products, fixings, membranes, cranes, and haulage.
* Raise and manage purchase orders, update schedules, and track deliveries.
* Ensure materials reach site or manufacturing facilities on time.
Supplier Management
* Build strong relationships with approved suppliers.
* Negotiate pricing, lead times, and agreements.
* Monitor performance and resolve quality, delivery, or service issues.
Project Coordination
* Liaise with design, estimating, production, and site teams.
* Reprioritise and reschedule work to manage weather delays or other construction disruptions.
* Resolve supply chain challenges quickly.
Cost Control & Reporting
* Manage material costs within budget.
* Identify savings opportunities, bulk purchases, and alternative sourcing.
* Maintain accurate records and report on supplier performance, price changes, and material allocation.
Quality & Stock Management
* Ensure materials meet industry standards, building regulations, and company requirements.
* Maintain timber certifications and manage non-conforming materials.
* Monitor stock levels, minimise waste, and plan project-specific requirements.
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in procurement, purchasing, or supply chain coordination
* Construction industry experience (timber frame, manufacturing, or related areas advantageous)
* Knowledge of timber and construction materials
* Strong organisational, communication, and Microsoft Excel skills
* Commercial awareness
* Ability to adapt to changing workloads and work under pressure
Why You’ll Love This Role
* Work in a construction business with a family-run feel where your ideas and input matter
* 28 days holiday plus extra for length of service, with Christmas shutdown
* Free on-site parking
* Opportunity to take ownership, develop professionally, and make a real impact
