Job Opportunity: Assistant Buyer or Buyer
We are currently seeking an experienced Assistant Buyer or Buyer to join a new region of an award-winning Housebuilder with their region based in Berkshire.
About the Role
The ideal candidate will have exposure to residential construction; volume is preferred but not a pre-requisite. This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast-growing region and work on a brand new scheme.
Key Responsibilities:
- Procurement & Package Management: Command all procurement workflows for the brand new development, taking full ownership of scheduling, negotiating, and managing the end-to-end buying process for the site.
- Supply Chain & Subcontractor Operations: Coordinate subcontract packages across the South Coast, Thames Valley, and South Midlands regions, ensuring commercial alignment, accurate forecasting, and rigorous cost control.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with the Head of Commercial, site teams, and the wider commercial department to ensure seamless procurement progression from pre-construction to final project handover.
- Cost & Materials Control: Oversee material ordering schedules, material pricing, and logistics to protect project margins, mitigate cost inflation, and drive financial efficiency across all live developments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
