Buyers - Why You Should Apply

An extra day off every month: As a Buyer with this South Wales manufacturer, you'll be on flexitime. Once you pass probation, you get up to 12 extra days off a year. Add 32 days' holiday, and you'll have a long weekend most months, for family, trips away, or simply catching up on life.

Perks with real cash value: There's an electric vehicle lease scheme, nursery support through salary sacrifice, and a health cash plan covering dental, optical and physio. Parking and EV charging are free on site, so more of your salary stays in your pocket.

Two days a week at home: You can work from home up to two days a week. That means fewer commutes, lower fuel bills, and quieter days to focus on orders and negotiations.

Room to grow your career: This is a stable, considerate employer with low staff turnover and a strong record of developing its people. You'll buy across a wide range of components, building the broad purchasing experience that moves careers forward.
