Are you an experienced Buyer with a passion for fast-paced manufacturing? Do you thrive under pressure, managing multiple priorities and ensuring suppliers deliver on time? We are looking for a proactive Buyer / Expeditor to join a leading organisation in Crewe, supporting both day-to-day purchasing and long-term procurement strategy.
The Role

Your responsibilities will include:
* Raising, managing, and expediting purchase orders, with constant focus on delivery dates.
* Working closely with suppliers to secure on-time deliveries and quickly resolve issues.
* Interpreting MRP suggestions and manufacturing plans to place accurate, timely orders.
* Reviewing drawings and diagrams for bespoke engineered products to ensure the correct materials and components are procured.
* Forecasting and maintaining inventory levels to support production schedules.
* Collaborating with manufacturing, warehouse, and stores teams to resolve discrepancies.
* Supporting sourcing activities, cost-reduction projects, and category strategies.
* Preparing clear reports on supplier performance, purchasing activity, and stock levels.
About You
We are seeking a passionate, can-do individual who thrives in a busy manufacturing environment. You will bring:
* At least 2 years’ experience in purchasing, procurement, or expediting (manufacturing or engineering sector preferred).
* Strong expediting skills — juggling priorities, chasing suppliers, and keeping tight control of delivery schedules.
* Ability to interpret technical drawings and diagrams (advantageous).
* Experience with ERP systems
* Proficiency in Excel for forecasting, reporting, and data analysis.
* Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the drive to go the extra mile to meet deadlines.
What’s on Offer
* Competitive salary of up to £40,000 per annum.
* Permanent, full-time role based onsite in Crewe, Cheshire.
* A chance to combine hands-on buying and expediting with strategic procurement.
* Opportunity to work with bespoke engineered products in a dynamic environment.
