* Job: Buyer – Manufacturing / Engineering

* Location: Northwich, Cheshire (onsite, permanent)

* Salary: Up to £40,000 per annum

Do you enjoy working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where no two days are the same? We are seeking a Buyer to join a growing organisation in Northwich. This role offers the chance to combine day-to-day buying responsibilities with longer-term strategic input, all while playing a vital role in keeping production running smoothly.

The Role

The Buyer will manage the end-to-end purchasing process, from raising orders and monitoring supplier performance to forecasting stock levels and supporting cost-saving initiatives. A large part of the role focuses on expediting; working closely with suppliers to ensure goods arrive on time and production schedules are met.

Key responsibilities include:

* Raising, tracking, and expediting purchase orders in line with MRP requirements, Bills of Materials, and production plans.

* Liaising with suppliers daily to confirm delivery schedules and resolve any issues promptly.

* Reviewing and interpreting engineering drawings for bespoke products to ensure correct procurement of parts and materials.

* Monitoring inventory levels and supporting stock control strategies to prevent shortages or excess.

* Producing clear reports on purchasing activity, supplier performance, and inventory data.

* Supporting sourcing activities and contributing to strategic category initiatives.

* Working closely with manufacturing, warehouse, and stores teams to maintain supply chain efficiency.

About You

We’re looking for someone who can thrive under pressure, prioritise effectively, and maintain a strong focus on delivery performance. You will need:

* At least 2 years’ experience in purchasing, procurement, or expediting, ideally in a manufacturing or engineering setting.

* Strong expediting skills with the ability to juggle multiple supplier commitments and deadlines.

* Competence in interpreting technical drawings and specifications (advantageous).

* Familiarity with ERP systems such as Sage 200 (training provided if needed).

* Strong Excel skills, particularly for forecasting and reporting.

* Excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills.

* A can-do attitude and the drive to succeed in a demanding environment.

What’s on Offer

* Salary of up to £40,000 per annum.

* Permanent, full-time position based onsite in Northwich, Cheshire.

* The opportunity to combine tactical buying with strategic procurement in a varied role.

* A supportive working environment where your contribution will directly impact manufacturing performance.

If you’re a Buyer who relishes a challenge, enjoys working with suppliers, and can keep on top of multiple priorities, this could be the ideal next step for you. Apply Now!
