Calculator/Buyer

Function

• As a Calculator/Buyer you translate electrical project plans and client requests into accurate calculations, so that quotations are technically substantiated and commercially viable.
• You request prices from suppliers, compare terms and monitor the balance between quality, lead time and total cost.
• For execution purposes, you place orders for electrical materials and follow up on project-related purchases from request to delivery.
• You work closely with the project manager and ensure that material choices, budgets and timing are well aligned.
• Contact with clients and suppliers forms an important part of the role: you clarify queries, discuss alternatives and keep agreements clear.
• You contribute to a reliable purchasing approach by carefully managing pricing information, supplier data and previous calculations.
• From Zonhoven, you support a diverse range of electrical projects including schools, residential care facilities, hospitals, town halls and hotels; residential construction is not part of the activities.

You will join an organisation with an informal, people-oriented working culture. Colleagues work closely together, support one another and also make time for informal team moments outside working hours.

Profile

• You have extensive experience as an estimator, cost calculator, buyer or purchaser within electrical installations or a comparable technical project environment.
• Technical plans, material lists, quotations and price comparisons are familiar sources of information for you; you are able to critically verify calculations and substantiate them clearly.
• Negotiating and communicating with clients, suppliers and project managers comes naturally to you. You align expectations in a timely manner, because accurate information directly contributes to profitable and well-organised projects.
• Accuracy and ownership are important: you systematically follow up on requests, orders and pricing agreements, and flag deviations before they affect execution.
• You work independently, but actively seek alignment when a technical or commercial decision has an impact on budget, quality or planning.
