  • Coordinate with internal departments (e.g., Engineering, Planning) to track demand and adjust purchasing plans accordingly.

Vendor Relations:

  • Communicate with suppliers to ensure timely delivery of goods and services and resolve any issues related to orders, shipments, or invoices.

Budget and Cost Management:

  • Support the budgeting process by tracking purchasing expenses and ensuring procurement activities are aligned with financial constraints.
  • Look for cost-saving opportunities through supplier negotiations, bulk purchasing, or process improvements without compromising quality or efficiency.

Compliance & Documentation:

  • Ensure compliance with company policies, industry regulations, and legal requirements related to procurement and purchasing.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of purchase orders, invoices, and supplier contracts.

Reporting & Analysis:

  • Prepare regular reports on procurement activities and inventory status.
  • Provide recommendations based on data analysis to improve procurement processes and operational efficiency.

Qualifications:

  • Secondary education or equivalent; a degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or a related field is preferred.
  • Proven experience in purchasing, procurement, or supply chain management, ideally in the aviation industry, or relevant engineering experience.
  • Strong negotiation skills and the ability to manage vendor relationships effectively.

  • Excellent organisational and time-management skills, with a keen attention to detail.
  • Ability to work under pressure, prioritise tasks, and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Knowledge of industry regulations.
  • Willingness to travel internationally and work overseas as required to support global sourcing and supplier management.
  • Applicants must have the right to live and work in the UK. Only those with the legal right to work in the UK should apply.
