This is an exciting opportunity to join a business that's investing in its people, systems and future. As Union Technical continues to expand, you'll work alongside the Buyer and Senior Buyer supporting the day-to-day procurement function while developing your own skills and experience within a collaborative and fast paced environment.

• Raising and managing purchase orders using the company's ERP system.
• Matching supplier invoices and resolving invoice or pricing discrepancies.
• Liaising with suppliers, subcontractors and internal teams to ensure materials and services are delivered on time.
• Building positive relationships with suppliers while helping to resolve day-to-day procurement queries.
• Producing procurement reports and supporting spend analysis.
• Maintaining accurate purchasing records and supplier information.
• Assisting with supplier research and obtaining quotations.
• Supporting stock, purchasing and procurement administration across the business.
• Providing administrative and commercial support to the wider operational team as required.
What we're looking for
• Previous experience in a Buying Assistant, Procurement Assistant, Purchasing Assistant or Supply Chain role.
• Experience raising purchase orders and managing supplier communications.
• Strong attention to detail with excellent organisational skills.
• Confidence using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office.
• Experience using ERP or purchasing systems. Experience with Microsoft Dynamics, Business Central or eVision would be advantageous but isn't essential.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to build relationships across the business.
