Purchasing Manager – Precision Engineering (SME)

£45-55k

Location: Bolton

A leading precision engineering SME, supplying critical components into global markets including aerospace, defence, oil & gas, power generation, automotive, and marine, is looking for an experienced Purchasing Manager to lead its procurement function.

With a strong people-first culture, we invest heavily in training, innovation, and world-class facilities to support long-term growth and excellence. This is a key leadership role driving performance, cost-down initiatives, and strategic sourcing in a dynamic and highly regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead direct and indirect procurement across a complex, technical supply base
  • Deliver cost-saving and value-engineering initiatives while maintaining world-class quality
  • Manage global supplier relationships and ensure compliance with international standards
  • Lead, develop, and mentor a small procurement team
  • Oversee single-source critical suppliers and build robust contingency strategies
  • Contribute to digital transformation within the procurement function
  • Work closely with quality and engineering teams to ensure sourcing aligns with stringent technical specs

About You:

  • 5+ years’ experience in procurement leadership, ideally within precision manufacturing or engineering
  • Track record of cost optimisation, global sourcing, and managing regulated supply chains
  • Strong commercial and negotiation skills with an eye for risk mitigation
  • Excellent team leadership skills with the ability to foster a collaborative and high-performance culture
  • Experience with ERP systems and digital procurement platforms
  • Understanding of ISO 9001 / AS 9100 or similar regulated standards

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Degree in Business, Engineering, or Supply Chain Management
  • Professional certification (CIPS or equivalent) is advantageous

Why Join Us?

We’re an established SME with a forward-thinking approach. Our culture is grounded in continuous improvement, staff development, and operational excellence. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the procurement strategy while making a tangible impact on the future of our business.
