Buyer – Warwick | 11-Month Contract

Belcan Workforce Solutions is seeking an experienced Buyer to join a leading engineering and manufacturing environment based in Warwick on a 11-month contract. This is an exciting opportunity for a procurement professional who enjoys solving complex challenges, working with large volumes of data and driving tangible improvements across the supply chain.

As a Buyer, you will be responsible for managing procurement activities across a diverse supplier base, supporting sourcing initiatives, negotiating commercial agreements and ensuring purchasing processes run smoothly and efficiently. You will work closely with internal stakeholders to maintain supply continuity, resolve supplier and invoicing issues, and support supplier performance and development activities.

Experience working with castings, forgings, machined components or other engineered products would be highly advantageous.
