We manufacture tables for the contract market (restaurants and hotels) using hardwoods, laminates and veneers and our tables can be found in many well known chains across the UK and abroad.
We're looking for a purchasing coordinator to manage the purchase of materials and consumables on a weekly basis. There is some flexibility in the hours required and when they are needed but ideally they would be mid week (Tuesday - Thursday).
The role involves reading the Job Sheets that are due to run through the factory, creating a 'shopping list' of materials then ordering those materials from set suppliers. Some liaising with suppliers is necessary on lead times, their stock levels and their delivery dates to ensure they arrive with us in time for our production schedule.
The successful candidate will be conscientious, organised and have good negotiating skills. A friendly and professional manner is crucial as the role involves liaising with key suppliers on a regular basis.
Previous purchasing experience would be an advantage and training will be given on the specific needs of our business. Previous woodworking experience would also be an advantage but is not necessary.
We offer competitive rates of pay, 25 days holiday per year (full time, pro rated for part time) plus bank holidays and run a monthly and quarterly profit-share bonus scheme for all employees. A pay rise is given every April.
