Job description

Are you a Technical Buyer from a High-Mix, Low Volume manufacturing / engineering environment, who would like to work for a business that prides itself on the reliability, precision and premium finishing standards it provides to its clients who work on exciting projects around both in the UK and around the world?


Our client, a well established, industry leading manufacturer of bespoke, high end hardware products have an exciting Technical Buyer opportunity within purchasing team, where you'll be responsible for playing a crucial role in ensuring the OTIF (on time in full) target is met by managing key purchasing / buying activities focused on materials, complex make-to-order components and multiple subcontracted services. As a Buyer, you will be ensuring supply continuity and OTIF/ quality expectations are met; cost control; strong supplier relationships and management; and the accuracy of ERP data, whilst being the first point of contact for your colleagues internally for escalated queries in this highly collaborative and fast paced working environment.


As a Technical Buyer, your role will involve:

  • Converting Material Requirements Planning (MRP) demand into POs
  • Placing and chasing orders with suppliers for subcontracted services
  • Chasing and expediting orders with suppliers
  • Acting as the point of contact for Production and Sales on order status and queries
  • Actioning MRP expectations and preventing shortages
  • Supporting supplier performance, development and improvement - e.g. OTIF, quality, cost
  • Supporting order confirmations, supplier tenders and RFQs (building packs using technical drawings)
  • Creating reports and maintaining the integrity of data on the ERP system (e.g. supplier information, pricing, products, MOQ, MSL)


I am interested in speaking with candidates who have experience working as a Buyer, Technical Buyer, Purchaser, Procurement Specialist, Procurement Officer, or Purchasing / Buying / Buyer professional ideally from a High-Mix, Low Volume (HMLV) manufacturing / engineering industry background, and who possesses solid ERP / MRP system experience and the ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.


Salary for this position is £38,000 to £40,000 p.a. (depending on the level of experience).


Benefits include: Hybrid working, free parking on-site, on-site gym, Christmas Closure (on top of annual leave).


The business offers free parking on-site. If you are taking public transport, there are lots of bus stops very close by that provide access to train stations as well.


Meridian Business Support is a recruitment specialist acting on behalf of our client as an Employment Agency for this vacancy.
