This is a newly created role with no existing procurement team, so you’ll set up how purchasing runs here and build the function from the ground up — a genuine opportunity to put your own stamp on the role and shape it your way.
The role
You’ll own the sourcing and purchasing of the goods, materials and services that keep operations moving — raw materials, consumables, equipment, spare parts and services — securing best value without compromising quality, supplier performance or continuity of supply. You’ll work closely with production, stores, planning, sales and finance.
