Operational Buyer

Warwick 12-Month Contract Inside IR35

Belcan Workforce Solutions is recruiting for an experienced Operational Buyer to join a leading engineering programme based in Warwick. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded procurement professional who enjoys working with complex challenges, analysing large volumes of data and driving solutions in a fast-paced environment.

As an Operational Buyer, you will be responsible for managing purchasing activities, supplier relationships, order placement, expediting and procurement administration whilst supporting the wider business through informed, data-driven decision making. You'll work extensively with SAP, Excel and Power BI to analyse supplier and purchasing data, identify trends, improve performance and support operational delivery.

Experience within aerospace, manufacturing or other industrial sectors would be particularly beneficial, especially where you've worked with complex engineered products such as castings, forgings or other technical components. You'll be comfortable operating in a high-pressure environment, balancing multiple priorities while maintaining excellent attention to detail.
