Buyer job in purchasing for a person building a procurement career and who wants real commercial responsibility, not a passive purchasing role.

·Control supplier spend, inventory levels and capacity risks

·Drive cost savings and cost avoidance across current and future business

·Work directly with manufacturing, MP&L, quality, development and operations to remove constraints

·Support new products and projects with costings and supplier risk reviews

What we’re looking for

·Experience in a Buyer or procurement role

·Confident, assertive approach to supplier negotiation

·Commercial mindset with the confidence to challenge and influence

·Experience using ERP / MRP systems

·Degree or equivalent experience (desirable, not essential)

Why join?

·A growing business with clear investment and momentum

·Strong, visible company values

·A Buyer role offering genuine progression and development, not just job stability
