Do you have experience in BOTH purchasing (or buying), AND stock management? Then you might be interested in this exciting and brand-new opportunity! I am assisting an established and highly regarded Dartford based company in their search for a Purchaser and Stock Manager.
About the company
It’s a busy, growing company situated on the outskirts of central Dartford, Kent. It’s also a company which genuinely values and rewards their people for their efforts. The company operates within the technical / construction services arena, supporting a wide and varied client base.
The Role
We’re searching for a Purchaser and Stock Manager who is familiar with the wholesale supply base to the construction, trades (or aligned) industries. If you’re a person who can build solid business relationships with suppliers, have a trained eye on stock levels, whilst expertly forward planning resources to ensure adequate and timely supply - you’ll be the hero who keeps their projects ticking with materials arriving just when and where they should.
Your Day-to-Day Might Include:
* Scouring suppliers for the best prices on everything from materials and fixings, right down to the last clip or fuse

* Placing orders, tracking deliveries, and smoothing out any hiccups along the way
* Pick and prepare all materials required for upcomming jobs
* Keeping the storerooms shipshape, maintaining an accurate inventory
* Building and maintaining excellent working relationships with suppliers and wholesalers and negotiate the very best prices, terms, and delivery times
* Receiving deliveries and verifying these against purchase orders for accurate quality and quantities
* Working closely with site teams to make sure their wishes come true (or at least their material requests)
Who You Are
* Experienced in purchasing, and / or stock management—bonus points if it’s in construction or trades
* A pro at negotiating, with a sixth sense for spotting potential issues
* An absolute legend for securing the very best prices and terms
* Organised, proactive, and unflappable when the phone rings off the hook
* Familiar with CRM software
* Inquisitive and always researching opportunities to reduce costs, whilst maintaining quality
* A sense of humour and a can-do attitude are the only essential qualifications!
What’s In It For You?
* A friendly, down-to-earth team who appreciate a good cuppa (Oh, and cake occasionally)
* Competitive salary with genuine professional development opportunities.
* 25 days annual leave – plus bank & public holidays (33 in total)
* Quarterly (performance based) profit share bonus
* A highly supportive management team
