Protecting what matters, together
At Macfarlane Packaging, we protect what matters most – our people, our customers, our communities and the environment. Our commitment to customer service, sustainability and continuous improvement creates a collaborative and supportive workplace where you can build a career that grows with you.

With over 75 years of industry expertise, we combine stability with ambition. Ours is a fast-paced, results-focused environment that will challenge and stretch you – but also provide genuine opportunities for development, progression and long-term career satisfaction.

We offer competitive pay, performance incentives and a flexible benefits package, alongside a culture that supports work-life balance. If you value teamwork, accountability, adaptability and continuous learning, we would love to hear from you.

The Assistant Buyer Role
As an Assistant Buyer based at our Plymouth site, you will play an important role within our local procurement team, supporting site operations while aligning with the wider national procurement strategy. You will help manage and develop the regional supplier base, ensuring products and services are sourced competitively, delivered reliably, and aligned to business objectives.

This is a varied and commercially focused role in a fast-moving distribution environment, offering excellent exposure to supplier management, negotiation and procurement best practice.

Key Responsibilities

Manage and develop a broad portfolio of suppliers, building strong and effective working relationships
Source products and negotiate pricing, service levels and terms to ensure best value for the business
Monitor supplier performance against agreed quality, service and cost standards
Support tendering activities, product sourcing enquiries and ad-hoc procurement projects
Purchase both standard and non-standard stock items in line with operational requirements
Carry out supplier benchmarking and market comparisons to drive continuous improvement
Produce reports and analysis to support procurement decisions and performance tracking
Support stock control, purchasing administration and system accuracy
Work closely with internal departments including sales, operations and logistics to ensure supply meets demand
Uphold procurement policies and contribute to risk reduction, cost control and margin improvement

What You Will Bring
We welcome applications from candidates with at least one year of commercial buying or procurement experience, ideally within a fast-paced, sales-led or distribution environment.

You will also demonstrate:

Experience of supplier interaction, price negotiation and purchasing administration
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally
Good commercial awareness and the confidence to challenge constructively
The ability to manage multiple priorities and work to deadlines
Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office; experience with procurement or ERP systems is advantageous
A proactive, organised and detail-focused approach
CIPS study or accreditation is beneficial but not essential – we offer support and development towards professional qualifications.

Our Benefits
We offer a competitive salary and bonus, alongside a flexible benefits package that can include:

25 days annual leave (rising to 27 with service) plus bank holidays
Annual holiday purchase scheme
Contributory pension scheme
Free parking at most sites
Company-paid volunteering day
Employee assistance programme
Extensive training, development and progression opportunities
Employee discounts with major retailers and leisure brands
Health and dental cover options
Enhanced family-friendly and wellbeing policies
Long service awards
Charitable giving options
Eye test and glasses support (for DSE users)
O2 mobile discount scheme
£750 employee referral scheme

How to Apply
All applications will be acknowledged. If you do not hear from us within 2-3 weeks, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. If you require adjustments during the recruitment process, please contact our recruitment team.
