- Monitor and manage inventory levels and safety stock, balancing service levels with working capital optimisation.
- Maintain and update material, supplier and planning data within ERP / MRP systems.
- Investigate and resolve material shortages and supply disruptions, implementing corrective actions where required.
- Work cross-functionally with engineering, production, operations and sales teams to ensure alignment with demand and installation schedules.
- Analyse supply chain and supplier performance data using Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs and reporting tools).
- Manage supplier relationships to resolve issues relating to availability, capacity, quality and cost.
- Support logistics, shipping and import processes, ensuring materials are delivered efficiently and in line with project timelines.
- Communicate with technical and design teams to ensure accurate product specifications and procurement data.
- Participate in supplier negotiations, identifying opportunities for cost savings and commercial improvements.
- Monitor supplier delivery performance and produce regular KPI reporting.
