Job Description
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.
About MCR Property Group
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 £2 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.
The Role
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.
You'll be responsible for:
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.
About You
You are commercially aware, analytical and confident in negotiation.
You build strong relationships but know when to push for the right deal.
You will bring:
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.
What You'll Get
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.
