Sourcing Specialist

Sourcing Specialist – Loughborough – £40,000 – £48,000

Are you a proactive Buyer or Procurement Specialist who enjoys variety, influence, and the satisfaction of seeing projects move from concept to delivery? We’re recruiting on behalf of a long-established innovative engineering and technology manufacturer, who are expanding their Procurement & Supply Chain team following a successful turnaround and increasing order book.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a hands-on, collaborative environment, where you’ll have the freedom to make an impact without layers of bureaucracy.

The Opportunity

  • Working closely with engineering, project management, finance, and quality teams, you’ll play a central role in supporting both product development and ongoing supply activity.
  • Your responsibilities will include:
  • Managing day-to-day procurement activity, including raising POs, chasing suppliers, and resolving invoice or goods receipting issues.
  • Leading sourcing for both direct and indirect categories, securing materials on a spot-buy basis to meet sales and operations planning needs.
  • Supporting new product development projects, managing discussions between technical teams and suppliers to orchestrate practical solutions.
  • Handling a diverse range of parts and commodities, from fasteners to compressors, requiring flexibility and curiosity.
  • Negotiating pricing and terms, balancing cost, quality, and delivery to achieve the best overall business outcome.
  • Maintaining accurate procurement data within the ERP system and contributing to continuous process improvements.

About You

You’ll be a confident, commercially minded professional with experience in procurement, sourcing, or buying within a manufacturing, engineering, or technical business. You’ll thrive in smaller, fast-paced teams and be comfortable “rolling up your sleeves” to handle both transactional and strategic tasks.

Experience within aerospace or advanced engineering is advantageous, and support is available for those wishing to pursue CIPS qualifications.

The Offer

  • Salary up to £48,000 
  • Office-based in the East Midlands, commutable from Loughborough, Leicester, Nottingham, and Derby
  • Flexible start and finish around core hours (9:30–4:00 Mon–Thu, 9:30–3:00 Fri)
