Junior Construction Buyer

• A good salary that we would like to determine in consultation with you, depending on your knowledge and experience;

• An educational work environment alongside an experienced buyer who can still teach you a lot about, among other things, the pricing of projects;

• A good travel allowance or, optionally and in consultation, a company car;

• Attractive secondary conditions such as, among others, a good pension scheme, 43 days of leave (of which 13 are in the individual budget), and the possibility to purchase an (electric) lease bike;

• On-site fitness facilities at the office in Zevenaar;

• Access to the VolkerWessels Academy to continue developing yourself, both personally and professionally;

• An active staff association that regularly organizes the most fun activities (such as, for example, a weekend trip to a city in the Netherlands or abroad).

For Veluwezoom Verkerk in Zevenaar, we are looking for a Junior Construction Buyer as part of our expansion. In this role, you will work closely with our experienced buyer Marco, and together you will ensure that our procurement processes run optimally.

As a Junior Buyer, you are the link that ensures materials, services, and partners align exactly with what our projects require. You translate the wishes of project teams into smart procurement strategies, manage project purchasing, and work on building strong relationships with suppliers and subcontractors.

As a buyer, you are responsible for the actual purchasing, from shell construction to installations. Additionally, you deal with the selection, evaluation, and contracting of suppliers and subcontractors.

As a buyer, you truly become part of the project team, which approaches a project from the design phase through to the realization phase. From the very beginning, the project team makes choices together regarding what is best for the project, and as a buyer, you play an important role in this.

And furthermore:

• Evaluating quotes on technical aspects, quality, timeliness, completeness, and execution aspects;

• Seeking optimizations together with our construction partners and building and maintaining sustainable relationships;

• Negotiating prices, delivery times, terms, and contract agreements focused on collaboration;

• Conducting market research and analyzing procurement needs;

• Monitoring the performance and quality of suppliers;

• Contributing to national VolkerWessels framework contracts and chain collaborations;

• Thinking along about sustainable, future-oriented choices in projects.

You are a true self-starter, entrepreneurial, and you are technically and financially savvy. You are easy to approach and you are able to discuss your advice and findings in a convincing manner with your team and the suppliers and subcontractors.

Preferably, you already bring some experience as a buyer within residential construction. Do you have experience as a work preparer or planning preparer within residential construction and do you want to further develop yourself in the field of procurement and pricing, then we also invite you to apply; we are happy to help you continue learning in the procurement profession.

A great workplace where your craftsmanship counts; at Veluwezoom Verkerk, you will get the space to help build projects that truly matter. We are down-to-earth and involved, with all the benefits of a stable organization in the background. We want to continue to innovate and grow and therefore offer you plenty of opportunities; you just have to grab them. In addition to hard work, there is also having fun together. And because of that, in addition to a good salary, you can expect an incredibly beautiful package of secondary employment benefits from us.
