Facilities Buyer

Facilities Buyer Location:
Manchester (Office-Based)

MCR Property Group is looking for a commercially sharp Facilities Buyer to join our Manchester office and play a key role in supporting a fast-growing national property portfolio.

This isn't a back-office buying role. This is about impact.

You'll sit at the centre of our Facilities and operational teams, driving cost efficiencies, strengthening supplier relationships, and ensuring our developments and managed assets operate at the highest standard.

If you know how to negotiate hard, build strong supplier partnerships, and protect margin without compromising quality - we want to talk.

MCR Property Group is a leading independent real estate investment and development company with offices in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.

We deliver new residential and industrial developments across the UK and manage a substantial commercial and industrial portfolio valued in excess of GBP2 billion, alongside around 5,000 residential plots.

We are scaling. The pipeline is strong. The expectations are high.

And we're building a team that can match that ambition.

As Facilities Buyer, you will take ownership of both direct and indirect procurement across our Facilities function. From tender-stage pricing to supplier negotiations and purchase order management, you'll ensure value, reliability, and commercial control at every stage.

• Pricing materials and plant at tender stage and supplying competitive, accurate costings
• Building and managing a strong preferred supplier database
• Negotiating favourable terms, rebates, and payment structures
• Raising and managing purchase orders and liaising closely with Accounts
• Identifying cost-saving opportunities across departments
• Supporting operational teams with procurement queries and package reviews
• Driving continuous improvement in procurement efficiency and performance

This role requires someone proactive - someone who spots opportunities to improve margins, streamline suppliers, and tighten commercial control.

You are commercially aware, analytical and confident in negotiation.

You build strong relationships but know when to push for the right deal.

• Experience in construction and/or facilities procurement (preferred)
• Strong negotiation skills and supplier management experience
• Excellent numerical and analytical ability
• High attention to detail and accuracy
• The ability to prioritise and perform under pressure
• A proactive, solution-led mindset
• You're comfortable in a fast-paced environment and understand that growth businesses demand pace, ownership and accountability.

• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays (rising to 25 with service)
• Your birthday off
• Dress down Fridays
• Free eye test voucher

Please note:

this is an office-based role. We believe collaboration and pace matter.

If you're looking for a role where procurement has influence, visibility and real commercial impact - this is it.
