Reporting to the Purchasing Manager, you will be responsible for purchasing and stock control within the business.

The ideal candidate will have some purchasing experience and will be able to bring their skills and experience within procurement to the role. A manufacturing/raw materials background is ideal but not essential for this position.

Your responsibilities will include:

1. Chasing deliveries
2. Raising purchase orders for products and materials
3. Purchasing raw materials and products
4. Working closely with the Production Manager
5. Handling some export and import administration
6. Forecasting stock and managing stock levels
