Procurement Officer
Bedfordshire
£55,000 + benefits
A leading UK engineering and R&D organisation is undertaking a major multi-year site transformation, following significant new investment.
This newly created role offers the chance to be right at the centre of that redevelopment, working as part of an embedded project team of Project Managers, Engineers, and Designers to help deliver a modern, high-performance technical facility.
This isn't a typical purchasing job. You'll be managing complex procurement activity linked to infrastructure, construction, and facilities upgrades, ensuring projects are delivered compliantly, efficiently, and on budget.
What You'll Be Doing
Supporting a live capital-works programme covering site redevelopment, infrastructure upgrades, and compliance improvements.
Managing end-to-end procurement activity: defining requirements, running tenders, negotiating contracts, and ensuring governance.
Working closely with technical teams to scope works, assess risk, and identify value opportunities.
Monitoring supplier performance and managing any contract variations.
Example projects might include facilities refurbishment, plant and equipment upgrades, or compliance-driven works (e.g. replacing internal doors, electrical systems, or workshop fit-outs).
What We're Looking For
Proven experience in procurement across facilities, estates, construction, or infrastructure projects.
A confident, assertive character - someone comfortable pushing back and maintaining control in a technically demanding environment.
Strong stakeholder management skills with the credibility to influence engineers, contractors, and senior leaders.
Excellent attention to detail, organisation, and a focus on governance and value for money.
A proactive, tenacious approach and a genuine interest in supporting transformation and modernisation projects.
Why Apply?
Brand new position created as part of a major investment programme.
Work on a long-term redevelopment project with at least five years of future activity planned.
Join a respected organisation with a high-tech engineering focus and a growing, forward-thinking culture.
Real scope to shape how procurement supports complex project delivery.
Competitive salary, full benefits package, and strong career development potential.
