• Support commercial teams with cost data and bid input

• Improve procurement processes, systems, and reporting across the group

What We’re Looking For

• Proven procurement experience within engineering, manufacturing, or industrial environments

• Strong background in multi-site purchasing or group-level procurement

• Experience with raw materials, metals, or engineered components

• Track record of delivering measurable cost savings and margin improvement

• Strong negotiation and supplier management skills

• Comfortable operating both strategically and hands-on

• Strong commercial awareness and data-driven decision making

Desirable

• CIPS qualification (or working towards MCIPS)

• Experience with ERP/MRP systems and procurement analytics

• Exposure to both high-volume and project-based manufacturing environments

• Lean / Continuous Improvement / Six Sigma exposure (Bonus but not essential)
