• Source materials and components to meet production requirements.
• Use MRP planning tools to forecast material demand and ensure stock availability.
• Review and maintain reorder levels and safety stock to prevent shortages.
• Manage blanket orders and supplier agreements.
• Set up new suppliers and maintain purchasing information within the ERP system.
• Create new material and purchasing codes where required.
• Process internal purchasing requests and source suitable products.
• Liaise with Stock Control, Goods In and Production teams to ensure timely receipt of materials.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance purchasing processes and supplier performance.

The Ideal Candidate

• Previous experience in a Purchaser, Buyer or Procurement role within a manufacturing environment is essential.
• Experience purchasing metals, steel, aluminium or other engineering materials would be highly advantageous.
• Good understanding of MRP (Material Requirements Planning) and ERP systems.
• Experience managing supplier relationships, negotiating lead times and monitoring supplier performance.
• Knowledge of inventory management, reorder levels and stock control.
• Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Confident communicator with the ability to work collaboratively across multiple departments.
• Proactive and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
