Procurement & Purchasing Specialist (Projects) – National
Stirlings Performance Steels | Location flexible (WFH or from SPS Branch)
The Prospect
We're seeking a full-time Procurement & Purchasing Specialist to support our Projects team — a nationally focused role that can be based at any of our branches.
Reporting to the Projects & Indent Manager, you'll build packaged solutions for our projects — working with our internal sales team, and at times directly with customers, to put up material options tailored to each project.
When a package converts, you'll manage the orders through: purchasing from domestic suppliers and overseas mills, and staying on top of pricing, lead times and movements.
Projects work is dynamic — no two enquiries are the same — so it suits someone who'd rather take on a different order and a new challenge each day than repeat the same one.
What We're Looking For
You'll bring procurement or purchasing experience — ideally in steel, metals, manufacturing or industrial supply — with a good commercial head for pricing, negotiation and lead times.
Experience with indent and project buying is a real plus, but the right attitude and aptitude matter more to us than a perfect CV, and we'll teach you our products and the way we work.
What we won't compromise on is the way you buy.
We're after someone commercially sharp and thorough — the kind of person who negotiates well, reads the market, keeps orders and data accurate, and follows a purchase through to delivery rather than raising a PO and moving on.
Strong supplier relationships and clear communication with our Projects and Sales teams are central to this role.
If you own your buying end-to-end and enjoy adding real value on cost and supply, you'll fit in well — and there's genuine scope to grow with a national business.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Sourcing & Purchasing




•Source and purchase material for projects from domestic suppliers and overseas mills, including indent buys
•Prepare packaged solutions tailored to the customers needs
•Raise, manage and track purchase orders, keeping pricing, quantities and Grades accurate
•Negotiate pricing, lead times and terms to deliver commercial value on every buy
Supporting Project Supply
•Work with the Projects, Sales and Logistics teams to make sure material is bought and scheduled to meet project timelines
•Monitor lead times, stock and incoming supply, flagging risks to delivery early
•Reconcile orders and deliveries, and resolve any pricing or supply discrepancies with suppliers
Managing Suppliers & Records
•Build and maintain strong relationships with mills, suppliers and vendors
•Keep accurate procurement records and pricing data
•Support continuous improvement in purchasing processes and supplier performance
Responsibilities are not limited to those listed above.
