We manufacture tables for the contract market (restaurants and hotels) using hardwoods, laminates, and veneers, and our tables can be found in many well-known chains across the UK and abroad.
We're looking for a Purchasing Coordinator to manage the purchase of materials and consumables on a weekly basis. There is some flexibility in the hours required and when they are needed, but ideally, they would be mid-week (Tuesday - Thursday).
The role involves:
1. Reading the Job Sheets that are due to run through the factory.
2. Creating a 'shopping list' of materials.
3. Ordering those materials from set suppliers.
4. Liaising with suppliers on lead times, stock levels, and delivery dates to ensure timely arrival for our production schedule.
The successful candidate will be conscientious, organised, and have good negotiating skills. A friendly and professional manner is crucial as the role involves liaising with key suppliers regularly.
Previous purchasing experience would be an advantage, and training will be given on the specific needs of our business. Previous woodworking experience would also be an advantage but is not necessary.
We offer competitive rates of pay, 25 days holiday per year (full time, pro-rated for part time) plus bank holidays, and run a monthly and quarterly profit-share bonus scheme for all employees. A pay rise is given every April.
