Junior Procurement roles can be hard to come by but this is a company offering a Junior Buyer role in a company where you will learn the fundamentals of Procurement. Being a key part of the procurement process means that you will help accomplish the vast projects that this company work on. Buyers are pivotal to the manufacturing success and not only will you have buying and strategic sourcing responsibilities, but you will also receive training to further your career with this company. The company enjoy rewarding outstanding employees so if you are ready to shine then you could also be acquiring a CIPS qualification fully supported by this company.

Key Responsibilities include:

  • Supplier and contract management of existing agreements
  • Reviews of existing process and agreements
  • Low level project PO management
  • Learning the trade and building on knowledge of procurement
