Working closely with the Procurement Manager and wider site teams, you'll manage purchase orders, coordinate with suppliers, and help put consistent, compliant procurement processes in place.

This is a hands-on, varied role - ideal for someone who enjoys a mix of operational buying, cross-functional coordination, and learning opportunities within a global business.
