About RenEnergy

RenEnergy has been a leading force in the renewable energy sector, delivering innovative and sustainable energy solutions across the UK and internationally since 2006. As a high-growth company now integrated into a global corporate group, we are entering an exciting new chapter, one that requires robust financial leadership, transparency, and alignment with reporting standards.

Role Purpose

We are seeking a dynamic and commercially-minded Senior Buyer to drive our procurement function for renewable energy solutions. In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for sourcing and procuring materials that power our high-performance projects from solar panels and inverters to mounting systems and electrical components.

Your expertise will ensure cost-effective and reliable supply chains, and you'll work closely with project and operational teams to align purchasing strategies with company goals. This position is designed for those with significant procurement experience who are ready to make strategic decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and execute procurement plans and strategies for a diverse portfolio of renewable energy solutions. Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, negotiate contracts and pricing agreements, and secure competitive advantages while ensuring quality and timely delivery. Monitor market trends, material availability, and potential supply chain risks. Implement proactive measures to mitigate disruptions, manage price volatility, and uphold quality standards throughout the supply chain. Identify, evaluate, and qualify new suppliers by rigorously assessing their quality management systems, manufacturing processes, and certifications--all while ensuring ethical sourcing practices. Work in tandem with project managers and operations teams to accurately forecast and plan procurement needs in line with project timelines. Partner with our warehouse and logistics teams to enhance stock accuracy, streamline goods-in/out processes, and drive improvements in inventory management - all to ensure a smooth and reliable supply flow. Regularly report on stock levels, lead times, and material usage, and evaluate supplier performance against agreed KPIs to sustain high procurement standards. Support budgeting and cost forecasting for materials across projects, ensuring that procurement decisions align with overall business objectives. Collaborate with Finance, Project Management, and Delivery teams to align procurement strategies with business goals and project schedules. Drive initiatives focused on cost reduction while improving procurement efficiency and maintaining high standards for quality and delivery.

Required Skills & Experience

Proven experience in a procurement or supply chain management role, ideally within construction, renewable energy, or electrical sectors. Strong negotiation skills with a track record of fostering supplier optimisation and achieving cost savings. Excellent organisational and analytical skills paired with a detail-oriented approach to managing procurement processes. Advanced Excel skills and hands-on experience with procurement software and ERP systems (e.g., SAP). Minimum of CIPS Level 3 or equivalent qualification.

Desirable Qualifications & Attributes

Knowledge of solar PV systems, battery storage, or electrical components is highly desirable. CIPS Level 5 or equivalent would be an advantage.
