Purchasing Administrator
Bury, Office based with flexibility where needed
£25,000 + genuinely fantastic benefits
This isn’t the sort of admin role where you sit quietly in the corner processing paperwork all day.
Despite the title, this is far more of an operational co-ordination role than pure administration. It’s hands-on, fast-moving and sits right at the centre of the business, dealing with suppliers, vehicle orders, deliveries, internal teams and solving problems day to day.
The perks are also a bit different to your standard admin role.
Staff can access heavily discounted vehicles through the company car scheme, regularly changing into newer cars every 12-18 months. Think Volvos, BMWs, Mercedes and Volkswagens at monthly payments you wouldn’t normally get close to privately.
There’s an on-site cafe serving genuinely great food at cost, private medical and a business that understands people have lives outside work. Flexibility is approached like adults rather than box-ticking policy.
The role itself involves:
* Managing vehicle orders and supplier communication
* Chasing deliveries and resolving delays/issues
* Handling invoice queries
* Updating internal systems and purchasing records
* Working closely with sales, funding and suppliers daily
* Helping keep the purchasing function running smoothly
Automotive or fleet experience is great, but it is not essential.
They are far more interested in attitude, personality and someone who takes pride in their work.
This would suit someone organised, proactive and personable who enjoys being involved rather than just processing tasks all day.
Backgrounds could include:
* Purchasing administration
* Fleet administration
* Operational co-ordination
* Logistics support
* FCA regulated backgrounds
* Automotive or leasing sectors
Benefits:
* Heavily discounted staff car scheme with access to newer vehicles every 12-18 months
* 5% employer pension contribution vs 3% employee contribution
* Private medical cover after probation
* Health Shield cash plan
* Employee Assistance Programme
* On-site café serving great food at cost
* Complimentary hot and cold drinks for staff
* On-site parking
* Strong long-term stability and very low staff turnover
* Supportive, close-knit culture
* Flexible and understanding management team
The role is primarily office based in Bury, although flexibility is available where needed around family life and personal commitments.
If you’re looking for a role where you’ll be trusted, valued and genuinely part of the team, I’d be happy to discuss further.
