  • 8-hour shifts, Monday to Friday
  • Genuine opportunity to own and shape the procurement and stock control process

  • Supportive team – your ideas are valued and implemented

  • Stable, busy company in the engineering sector

  • Cycle-to-work scheme and free on-site parking

  • A varied, hands-on role with a lot of autonomy

  • No micromanagement – just the tools and support you need

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Sourcing and ordering parts and materials for engineering and electrical projects

  • Negotiating with suppliers to secure the best pricing and terms

  • Monitoring stock levels, raising purchase orders, and updating the stock control system (bespoke system)

  • Adding new items to the database and keeping records accurate

  • Liaising with stores and production to solve part shortages or picking errors

  • Improving stock control processes and system usage

  • Keeping the store function running efficiently with minimal disruption

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in procurement and stock control

  • Strong IT skills – stock systems, spreadsheets, and general system navigation are second nature to you

  • Excellent communication skills — you’ll be dealing with suppliers and internal teams

  • A proactive approach to identifying and fixing issues

  • Someone who enjoys bringing order, structure, and efficiency to busy environments
