Responsibility
Purchasing
Place orders with suppliers from a bespoke access based system - Requirements will be predefined so simply need to check volumes, prices & stock before sending. Book deliveries to the system when received. Manage returns & rejects.

Supplier management - ensure suppliers deliver on time in full at the correct price. Work with an existing supply base - investigate new suppliers - develop the working relationships

Production planning - ensure components are available for production - interrogate the system to provide shortage reports - pull forwards etc.

Quotation - Source pricing from existing & new suppliers on behalf of sales for new quotations.

Working in a small office, this is a very dynamic role for an individual that can self manage - working very closely with the very hands on Directors to ensure product is ordered, received & presented to production when required. The role will overlap many disciplines from supplier interface to customer support to production planning. The office is a very busy environment & often hectic, where managing time tasks is crucial.

You will be expected to look after the office on occasions when the Directors are off site, interface with customers is likely so a very good & clear command of the English language is necessary at a professional level.
