We're on the lookout for a detail-oriented and proactive Purchaser to join their close-knit team. In this role, you’ll take the reins on procurement and stock control, playing a key part in keeping production flowing smoothly, suppliers accountable, and operations cost-effective.

* Use the stock control system to plan timely purchase orders
* Forecast usage with the Production Planner and MD to avoid shortages on long lead items
Purchasing
* Raise and manage POs for stock, office supplies, and one-off items
* Own delivery timelines and ensure items arrive in full, on spec, and on time
* Update internal systems and coordinate with Warehouse & Shipping on goods-in
* Provide monthly PO updates for management visibility
* Continuously seek cost-saving opportunities and negotiate with suppliers
* Log and follow up on supplier non-conformities
* Request credits or replacements where needed
* Monitor supplier performance: quality, price, and punctuality
Data & System Management
* Keep supplier records accurate and up to date
* Work with the Technical team to ensure consistency in part numbers and descriptions
What we’re looking for:
* Strong organisation and attention to detail
* Confident using stock control or ERP systems
* Excellent communicator with great supplier relationship skills
* Independent and proactive with a team mindset
* Commercially savvy and solutions-focused
