About Us:

Join an established and successful business in a position that utilizes your experience and allows for further training and development.

Working as part of the procurement team you will undertake a variety of tasks across forecasting, inventory, purchasing and stock transfers between national distributions centres. With a newly implemented ERP system, Odoo, you will enjoy the journey of continuous improvement as the business moves from manual processing to online systems.  Excel is still a key component of the position so if you love Excel and deep diving into the data, then you will enjoy this role!  You will also gain exposure to a national and international supply chain covering both raw materials and finished goods.  

Your Responsibilities:

• Monitor and maintain inventory levels ensuring stock availability to meet operational demands.

Benefits:

With a mix of long-term staff and newcomers, you will enjoy both the opportunity to learn from those with business knowledge and to being part of the new generation working with Odoo to deliver improvements for the business.  Lovely offices, onsite parking and the opportunity to work 8/8.30 start with 4/4.30pm finish across a 40-hour working week.        

Whilst full training will be provided, we are ideally seeking some experience in purchasing and/or production planning and exposure to buying. This is a very busy position with a lot of moving parts and therefore we are seeking the following attributes and skills to ensure your success.
