Day-to-day responsibilities include:
Raising and processing purchase orders
Liaising with suppliers to check availability, lead times, and pricing

Tracking deliveries and handling any discrepancies
Supporting the team with general procurement administration and system updates

A proactive approach and willingness to learn
Strong IT skills confident using email, Excel, and internal systems
Excellent communication and organisation skills
A team player with a can-do attitude
Familiarity with ERP or MRP systems is a bonus, but full training will be provided.
