WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Manufacturing Procurement Manager
Hybrid | Telford | Full Time, Perm|
Position Overview
Reporting into Head of Programme Procurement. This role ensures supply performance is visible, risks are acted upon early, and material readiness aligns with engineering, manufacturing, and trials milestones.
What You Will Do
Act as Deputy for the HoPP.
Integrate supplier milestones, lead times, and readiness activities into the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), working closely with the SCM.
Lead weekly schedule-based supply reviews — focused on risk, recovery actions, and forecast-to-need alignment.
Coordinate input into programme-level planning artefacts: milestone health, DAREO, EAC, and change impact assessments.
Own supply chain progress and risk visibility for delivery governance, including scenario planning and escalation coordination.
Act as the delivery lead across the wider programme for supply chain readiness — ensuring alignment to build, trials, and acceptance windows.
Support change proposals, contract variations, and acceleration opportunities by assessing time and delivery implications from the supply side.
Work with the SCM’s to manage interfaces with engineering, procurement, and manufacturing — ensuring plans are joined up and risks are jointly owned.
Work with the HoPP to co-ordinate Bid activity in terms of interfacing bid inputs and capture.
Drive accountability and planning discipline across all supply streams — identifying and challenging gaps, lags, or misalignment to the IMS.
WHAT QUALIFICATIONS YOU SHOULD HAVE
Strong experience in project management within complex delivery environments (defence, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing).
Proven ability to manage delivery against schedule in supply-led workstreams with high levels of complexity and interdependence.
Skilled in MS Project and schedule-based risk and scenario planning.
Skilled in SAP & Excel, ideally with an understanding of Power BI.
Understanding of long-lead procurement, critical path risk, and the relationship between supply performance and programme success.
Strong coordination skills across planning, procurement, engineering, and operations functions.
Able to lead reviews, challenge constructively, and escalate with evidence.
Experience of Leading Teams (including Mentoring & Coaching)
