Procurement Manager

Procurement Manager – Building Envelope Team

We are seeking a Procurement Manager to join our Building Envelope team, playing a critical role in leading procurement delivery across major projects.

The building envelope (or building enclosure) forms the physical barrier between a building's interior and exterior — including walls, roofs, foundations, windows, and doors. It is fundamental to controlling heat, air, water, and light, ensuring occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term structural integrity. This role will support the procurement of these critical systems across complex, large-scale developments.


Key Responsibilities

Procurement Leadership

  • Lead procurement activities across major projects, with full accountability for outcomes
  • Influence project decisions through strong commercial and contractual expertise
  • Drive value, compliance, and alignment with business objectives

Tender & Award

  • Lead sourcing and selection of strategic supply chain partners
  • Prepare, issue, and evaluate high-value tender enquiries
  • Lead commercial and contractual negotiations to secure best value
  • Produce robust recommendation reports for senior approvals
  • Draft, issue, and execute complex contracts in line with Laing O'Rourke policies

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.
