Stores Purchasing Manager
Want to create industry-leading change and grow your career?
You will be a pivotal part of the team, and its success so get ready to be in demand. Ideally you will have some background in manufacturing, MRO, PPE or a trade counter environment, however full training will be provided so dont let this stop you from applying! Experience of managing or working in an industrial stores environment would be a definite advantage
We support our customers to ensure they have all the parts, spares and tooling they need to operate as well as working hard to ensure we obtain the best deals with suppliers.
Commercially aware, you will develop relationships with relevant stakeholders including engineering managers, procurement managers and facilities managers whilst also identifying and executing opportunities for revenue growth and profitability improvement.
In an ideal world it would be great for you to have knowledge of our products and services, but this isnt essential. What is important is that you have experience working in a manufacturing or engineering environment in an operational or commercial role - a great opportunity for a salesperson with a background in industrial B2B selling or someone with procurement/buying experience in heavy industry. The role is an interesting mix of stores management and purchasing so very much a hybrid role
