This role is for a Senior Procurement Specialist sitting within the University’s centralised procurement team within Finance, reporting to the Category Manager and supporting the wider team.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) which is a globally recognised centre of excellence in innovative manufacturing technologies, R&D and metal forming and forging research based in Inchinnan, Renfrewshire.
