• Operational and Commercial management of logistics to ensure cost-effective movement of parts to meet production requirements.
• Monitor the expenditure on individual projects and produce reports to Senior Management on budgetary performance.

In the longer term this will lead to building a team underneath you and increased proportions of work being involved in strategic projects aimed at growing the business.

Experience:

• 3-5 years’ minimum experience in a Purchasing/Procurement/Supply Chain management position.
• Experience working in an Engineering environment – being able to read Engineering drawings is a must.
