SF Recruitment are exclusively working with a well-established business in Alfreton who are looking to recruit a Procurement Assistant to join their Purchasing & Logistics team.

This is a great opportunity for someone with some previous purchasing, procurement, supply chain or order processing experience who is looking to develop their career within procurement.

Working closely with the Purchasing & Logistics Manager, you'll provide day-to-day support across purchasing, supplier administration, stock control and the ordering of parts and consumables.

• Helping resolve invoice and order discrepancies
• Processing returns and maintaining accurate records
• Liaising closely with Accounts, Warehouse and other internal teams
• Supporting subcontractor administration and maintaining relevant compliance documentation
• Assisting with routine inventory reports and general purchasing administration

The position has a good mix of purchasing, stock and supplier administration, without requiring someone to come in and take ownership of higher-level procurement strategy or supplier negotiations. The core responsibilities are based around ordering, stock control, invoices, returns and internal liaison.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience within purchasing, procurement, supply chain or a similar administrative role
• Confident communicating with suppliers and internal teams
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• Good Microsoft Office skills
• Comfortable working with systems and data
