This will require you to use your engineering knowledge and commercial skills to build robust relationships with not only key suppliers but also internal engineering teams. You can expect it to be a busy environment with a healthy mix of tactical purchasing but with an eye firmly on the longer term strategy, so no doubt very rewarding. Also, not only is their work interesting, but they are passionate about looking after the team and their benefits scheme reflects this. They include life assurance, increased pension, car scheme and a number of heavily discounted products.
The Role:
Alongside the mix of tactical and strategic duties, as a senior buyer you will play a key role in developing the performance of their existing supply chain and sourcing new suppliers.
