At JCB, we are committed to excellence in procurement and supply chain management. As a Purchasing and Commercial Apprentice, you will play a crucial role in sourcing high-quality products and services for our manufacturing processes worldwide.

We offer a competitive salary of £15,000 per annum, which is expected to rise as you progress through your apprenticeship. Our comprehensive benefits package includes 33 days' holiday, access to our company pension, and discounts at various high street retailers through our JCB Rewards Hub.

The Purchasing Apprenticeship scheme involves day-to-day purchasing activities, including finding suitable suppliers, negotiating prices, placing orders, and ensuring timely delivery. You will work closely with stakeholders to handle relationships and monitor inventory, gaining valuable skills in commercial reviews, purchasing project management, and more.

Category Buying - In this position, you will create and carry out global category strategies to enhance value and boost competitiveness and performance. You will need to connect and negotiate with suppliers worldwide to support our manufacturing processes in the UK, India, US, China, and Brazil.

Non-Production Buyer - In this position, you will build and keep strong relationships with suppliers to guarantee timely delivery and quality products and services. Your focus will be on purchasing needs outside of the production process.
