Buyer, Engineering

What you’ll be doing

As a key part of the supply chain function, you’ll manage end‑to‑end procurement activity to ensure materials, components, and services are delivered on time, in full, and to the required quality standards
. This is a hands‑on, proactive role where you’ll build strong supplier relationships, monitor performance, negotiate value, and keep production running smoothly.

• Full E2E procurement ownership – from sourcing to PO management
• Ensuring continuity of supply in a fast‑paced, engineering‑led environment
• Managing supplier performance, risk, and delivery metrics
• Supporting NPI and engineering projects as required
• Working cross‑functionally with operations, planning, and quality teams
• Identifying opportunities to improve cost, lead time, and supply chain resilience

• Proven experience as a Buyer within aerospace, aviation, defence, engineering, or a similarly regulated/complex manufacturing environment
• A self‑starter who stays calm under pressure and can take ownership of their portfolio
• Strong understanding of supply chain processes and the importance of on‑time delivery
• Confident communicator with solid negotiation skills
• Someone who enjoys problem‑solving and working collaboratively in a technical setting

You’ll be part of a highly respected engineering manufacturer with long‑term programmes, modern facilities, and a genuinely supportive team environment. There’s strong visibility of work, clear progression pathways, and the chance to play a critical role in a high‑performance supply chain.
