Crynodeb

We are working with a growing manufacturing business looking to appoint a Buyer / Purchasing Officer to take ownership of day-to-day purchasing, supplier management, and materials control within a fast-paced engineering environment.

This is a hybrid role that combines hands-on procurement with elements of stores coordination, compliance support, and supplier relationship management. It would suit someone who is confident working with MRP systems and enjoys a varied role where no two days are the same.

Key Responsibilities

• Purchase all components, materials, and consumables using an in-house MRP system
  
• Manage supplier relationships and negotiate with key vendors
  
• Oversee procurement of recurring services including utilities, maintenance, and contracts
  
• Support supply and demand planning to ensure material availability
  
• Work closely with warehouse and stores teams to manage goods-in and stock flow
  
• Maintain accurate purchasing records and pricing data
  
• Support day-to-day compliance with ISO9001 and health & safety processes
  
• Liaise with external contractors and internal stakeholders to ensure smooth operations
  
• Identify cost-saving opportunities and improve purchasing efficiency
  About You
  • Minimum 2 years’ experience in a purchasing or buying role
    
  • Strong understanding of supply chain and procurement processes
    
  • Experience using MRP/ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Sage, Epicor, or similar)
    
  • Confident building and maintaining supplier relationships
    
  • Commercially aware with a good understanding of cost control and demand planning
    
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
    
  • Comfortable working in a manufacturing or engineering environment (desirable)
    
  • Knowledge of ISO9001 or regulated environments would be an advantage
    What’s on Offer
    • Salary: £40,000 – £45,000 per annum
      
    • 33 days holiday (including bank holidays)
      
    • 3% employer pension contribution
      
    • Opportunity to join a growing and innovative manufacturing business
      
    • Varied role with exposure across procurement, stores, and operations
      
    • Long-term development potential within supply chain and purchasing
      Why Apply?

      This is an excellent opportunity for a Buyer or Procurement professional looking to step into a more autonomous role within a growing engineering business. You’ll play a key part in ensuring the smooth flow of materials and services that support production and ongoing business growth.
