Purchasing & Inventory Assistant

Manchester

Flexible working hours

Full-time on site

Permanent, full-time

We're supporting a well established manufacturing business in Manchester that is looking to appoint a Purchasing & Inventory Assistant.

This is a hands-on role focused on raw material purchasing, inventory management, MRP discipline, purchase order progression, and production support.

It would suit someone from a manufacturing, aerospace, metals, engineering, or materials-led environment where stock accuracy and production timelines really matter.

The role

You’ll support the Purchasing and Supply Chain team by making sure materials are ordered, tracked, updated and available for production on time.

A major part of the role is using MRP/ERP systems to check material availability, support production planning, manage inventory, and help ensure customer orders are delivered without delay.
