Procurement Buyer
Join the Team at Your Retreats
Your Retreats is a leading manufacturer of bespoke luxury lodges and modular buildings, delivering high-quality projects across the UK. Due to continued growth, we are looking for an experienced and proactive Procurement Buyer to join our team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong purchasing background within construction, manufacturing, modular, timber frame, or housebuilding to play a key role in ensuring our production runs efficiently and cost-effectively.
The Role
As Procurement Buyer, you will be responsible for sourcing materials, negotiating with suppliers, managing stock requirements, and ensuring all materials are delivered on time to support our manufacturing schedule.
Working closely with Production, Design, Finance and Operations, you will help drive cost savings, improve supplier performance, and ensure the business has the materials it needs to meet customer delivery dates.

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
