Technical Buyer
Employer not disclosed
Technical Buyer Up to £50,000 Gloucester Some of the materials you'll buy take six months to arrive. Guess who gets asked about that. Our client is a fast-growing advanced composites manufacturer supplying aerospace, automotive, defence and space. Lead times are the biggest threat to delivery dates, and you'll be the person who knows the real numbers. You'll: Turn MRP demand into purchase orders in SYSPRO Own suppliers end to end: sourcing, price, terms and performance Build a second source for anything critical Manage subcontract suppliers, from machining to NDT Give a straight answer on material availability before delivery dates are promised to clients Track supplier delivery and price variance with data, not opinion You buy, a dedicated Planner schedules. Two sites, one set of numbers. You'll need: Manufacturing buying experience where you owned suppliers, not just raised orders Genuine negotiation skills, including recovering when a supplier misses Hands-on ERP/MRP skills (SYSPRO is a bonus) A full UK driving licence for regular Gloucester to Swindon travel Aerospace, automotive or defence experience helps, as does CIPS. It's a chance to build a purchasing function in a growing business, not inherit a finished one. Interested? Message The Collective Network for a confidential chat
