We’re partnering with a well-established company based in Gravesend that’s looking to bring on board a dynamic and proactive Buyer or Purchasing Administrator.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with purchasing experience and a strong administrative background. To succeed in this role, you’ll need to bring enthusiasm, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to quickly adapt to existing systems and processes ready to hit the ground running from day one.

Work closely with internal teams to raise and track purchase orders, ensuring all procedures and project needs are followed accurately.
