The role of project buyer
As a project buyer, you are the cohesive link in all things related to purchasing in our projects and in your everyday life you are involved in one or more of our construction projects, depending on its scope. You will drive the project's procurement issues through the tendering process, design and production phases. You are a key member of the project team, leading and being responsible for procurement planning, requests, tenders, negotiations and contracting.
To support you, you will have colleagues in the department's procurement team, as well as a large internal network of experts in areas such as legal, environmental, energy and virtual construction. For you as a buyer, NCC also has a well-developed purchasing system in the form of the Purchasing Portal, which is a fantastic tool in the project buyer's everyday life.
We often work in collaboration with our customers at an early stage and design the project based on common objectives. Our projects are always unique, which means that your purchases will vary and you get to use your skills in developing new technical and business solutions.
As a project buyer with us, you will have many contacts within the organization and you will, among other things, work closely with the project manager, site manager, supervisor, project engineer, project manager and costing specialist. Good collaboration with other employees in the projects is a key issue for us to be successful, which requires good communication skills and a willingness to cooperate.
