Description:
Procurement Assistant
Alfreton | Full-Time | Permanent | Office Based
SF Recruitment are exclusively working with a well-established business in Alfreton who are looking to recruit a Procurement Assistant to join their Purchasing & Logistics team.
This is a great opportunity for someone with some previous purchasing, procurement, supply chain or order processing experience who is looking to develop their career within procurement.
Working closely with the Purchasing & Logistics Manager, you'll provide day-to-day support across purchasing, supplier administration, stock control and the ordering of parts and consumables. The original role requires around 1-2 years' similar experience, with MRP experience desirable rather than essential.
The role will include
* Raising purchase orders from internal requisitions
* Ordering stock, parts and consumables
* Supporting with obtaining supplier quotations and sourcing parts
* Liaising with suppliers regarding orders and deliveries
* Using the MRP system to maintain accurate purchasing information
* Supporting stock control and inventory administration
* Checking purchase invoices against agreed pricing and purchase orders
* Helping resolve invoice and order discrepancies
* Processing returns and maintaining accurate records
* Liaising closely with Accounts, Warehouse and other internal teams
* Supporting subcontractor administration and maintaining relevant compliance documentation
* Assisting with routine inventory reports and general purchasing administration
The position has a good mix of purchasing, stock and supplier administration, without requiring someone to come in and take ownership of higher-level procurement strategy or supplier negotiations. The core responsibilities are based around ordering, stock control, invoices, returns and internal liaison.
What we're looking for:
* Previous experience within purchasing, procurement, supply chain or a similar administrative role
* Confident communicating with suppliers and internal teams
* Strong organisation and attention to detail
* Good Microsoft Office skills
* Comfortable working with systems and data
* MRP/ERP experience would be beneficial but isn't essential
* Someone keen to learn and develop within procurement
