If so, then our client has the perfect opportunity for you. They are a well-established social housing provider with thousands of homes across multiple boroughs in West London.

Specifically, you will lead the procurement contracts covering ongoing maintenance and repairs, kitchen/bathroom refurbishments, and general property upgrades. As such, you must understand and have experience dealing with public sector purchasing procedures such as JCT contracts.

In addition, you will also be responsible for internal procurement within the business, for example, IT and office equipment.
