Job Description
Tech Connect Group has partnered with an international automotive manufacturing business in their search for an Assistant Buyer, based out of their Warwick site.
The responsibilities of the successful candidate include steering spend towards the preferred suppliers, managing the retendering of contracts at the right opportunity, and being a “go to” point for all types of indirect spend that keeps the sites running well.
Key responsibilities:
Understand the business requirements, identify suitable sources of supply for Indirect spend at manufacturing sites and central functions, and, where relevant, the Service Centres.
The breadth of spend is vast, so there is an opportunity to own a “bucket” such as forklifts, workwear, or energy.
Take a proactive approach for when contracts need renewing, deciding with the stakeholders if a tender or contract extension is needed and then driving it through.
Support the business and the suppliers where a change is decided upon, such as a change of Workwear supplier.
Support spot buys via existing suppliers or Amazon—anything from special safety footwear, a set of ladders, or hiring a crane.
Be creative in addressing the random demands that are prevalent in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Validate and, if necessary, challenge the Indirect expenditure invoices; this can be anything from site cleaning, temporary building rentals, waste collections, diesel bills and much more.
You will be someone who can handle a highly variable role in terms of spend requirements; Energy, forklifts, workwear, cleaning, security, gardening, office equipment and everything in between.
The role provides the opportunity to be a key focal point in the smooth operation of the business, and as such, is highly rewarding. There is a huge opportunity to make a difference with around £20M being spent per year within our indirect services.
Key Skills & Experience:
Precious experience in Purchasing
Precious work experience that requires initiative
Confident verbal and written communication skills
Knowledge of Excel, Word, Outlook & Teams
True ambiton to learn and drive towards being the lead of team in the future
