This is a rare opportunity to join a large, UK-headquartered international manufacturer entering an exciting phase of growth, automation and strategic investment. With the support of new owners and a clear transformation roadmap, the business is scaling rapidly with procurement at the front and centre of that journey.
They are seeking a Senior Buyer to take ownership of key capital procurement and indirect spend across a growing multi-site UK network. You’ll manage high-value sourcing projects – from packaging machinery to site services working cross-functionally with engineering, technical, and operations teams.

* Work closely with engineering and operational stakeholders on impactful, cross-functional projects
* Progress your career in a team that values autonomy, delivery, and long-term growth
* Gain exposure to modern manufacturing and sustainability-focused investment initiatives
Key Responsibilities
* Lead end-to-end procurement for Capex and Indirect projects, from supplier selection to contract execution and performance tracking
* Support group-wide investment plans across equipment, automation, engineering services, and infrastructure upgrades
* Engage with OEMs, contractors, and service providers to ensure value, compliance, and innovation
* Drive commercial negotiations and procurement compliance, contributing to continuous improvement across spend areas
* Partner with engineering and technical stakeholders to shape and align procurement strategy with future business needs
Your Background
* 3+ years’ experience in indirect procurement, ideally with exposure to Capex, MRO, or engineering related categories
* Confident managing stakeholders across engineering, operations, and project teams
* Strong commercial acumen and experience negotiating high-value contracts
* Familiarity with spend areas such as packaging machinery, conveyors, weighing systems, or site services is a bonus
* Practical, adaptable and comfortable in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment
