What We're Looking For
We're after someone highly organised, with great communication skills and a keen eye for detail. Ideal candidates will have:
  • Previous experience in an administrative or purchasing role (ideally in manufacturing or engineering).
  • Strong IT skills, particularly with Excel and order management systems.
  • A team-player mindset and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
  • A willingness to learn and grow within the role.
Why Join Us?
  • Be part of a friendly, down-to-earth team who support each other.
  • Gain hands-on experience in a fast-moving manufacturing environment.
  • Enjoy a competitive salary, excellent perks, and opportunities to develop your skills.
  • Work for a company with a solid reputation and a commitment to quality.
