SF Recruitment are exclusively working with a well-established business in Alfreton who are looking to recruit a Procurement Assistant to join their Purchasing & Logistics team.
This is a great opportunity for someone with some previous purchasing, procurement, supply chain or order processing experience who is looking to develop their career within procurement.
Working closely with the Purchasing & Logistics Manager, you'll provide day-to-day support across purchasing, supplier administration, stock control and the ordering of parts and consumables.

Liaising with suppliers regarding orders and deliveries
Using the MRP system to maintain accurate purchasing information
Supporting stock control and inventory administration
Checking purchase invoices against agreed pricing and purchase orders
Helping resolve invoice and order discrepancies
Processing returns and maintaining accurate records
Liaising closely with Accounts, Warehouse and other internal teams
Supporting subcontractor administration and maintaining relevant compliance documentation
Assisting with routine inventory reports and general purchasing administration
The position has a good mix of purchasing, stock and supplier administration, without requiring someone to come in and take ownership of higher-level procurement strategy or supplier negotiations. The core responsibilities are based around ordering, stock control, invoices, returns and internal liaison.
What we're looking for:
Previous experience within purchasing, procurement, supply chain or a similar administrative role
Confident communicating with suppliers and internal teams
Strong organisation and attention to detail
Good Microsoft Office skills
Comfortable working with systems and data
MRP/ERP experience would be beneficial but isn't essential
Someone keen to learn and develop within procurement
