About the Company
This is a lovely role! The company is a specialist business and acts as a purchasing “hub” for heavy industry and manufacturing clients across the world who are looking for specific components. The business employs about 100 staff globally and the Head office is in Colchester where the team will take orders from clients and then source technical products globally for dispatch. This is a classic senior level technical customer care and purchasing role in which you will be taking inbound enquiries from clients who will ask you to source certain pieces of heavy industrial equipment. Your role is to source heavy industrial equipment and then liaise with the client, add a “finders fee” and then communicate with the warehouse who will dispatch it. Nice and straightforward.
