Role Summary

The Operations & Supply Chain Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day purchasing, supplier coordination, inventory control, and logistics across Colby Instruments and Terra US/UK operations. The role acts as the central coordination point between suppliers, production, and internal teams to ensure materials are available on time, inventory records are accurate, and operational processes are followed.

Operational Support

Support production and engineering teams with material availability

Assist with UK office logistics and administrative tasks

Reporting & Coordination

Maintain visibility of critical components and long-lead items
Support cash flow awareness through PO and shipment tracking

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Stock availability: <5% production delays caused by missing materials
PO accuracy: 98%+ of purchase orders raised correctly first time
Supplier responsiveness: 90% of supplier issues followed up within 48 hours
Inventory accuracy: >95% alignment between MRP system and physical stock
On-time delivery rate: 85–90% of supplier deliveries on or before agreed date
Data integrity: No untracked stock movements or undocumented inventory changes
Process compliance: All purchases follow approved authorisation thresholds

Skills & Experience - Essential

Highly organised with strong attention to detail
Experience in purchasing, procurement, or supply chain coordination
Confident using spreadsheets (Excel or equivalent)
Experience using business systems (MRP)
Strong verbal and written communication skills with suppliers and internal teams
Ability to manage multiple priorities and follow tasks through to completion
Proactive approach to chasing and resolving issues

Skills & Experience - Desirable

Experience in manufacturing, engineering, or production environments
Familiarity with inventory control or BOM structures
Understanding of international shipping and logistics
Experience working in small, fast-moving businesses
Exposure to supplier negotiation or cost comparison

Working Style & Behaviours

Proactive and self-directed; does not wait to be chased
Persistent in following up suppliers and resolving issues
Highly structured and process-oriented in approach
Comfortable working in environments with incomplete or evolving systems
Strong sense of ownership over tasks from start to finish
Clear and concise communicator (especially in written updates)
Calm under pressure when supply issues arise
Practical mindset focused on keeping production running
Willing to improve and document processes, not just execute them
Comfortable working independently across multiple time zones (UK/US suppliers)
