Indirect Purchasing Coordinator
Gainsborough | Up to £29,000

Elevation Recruitment Group is working exclusively with a well-established FMCG business in Gainsborough to recruit an Indirect Purchasing Coordinator. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-paced manufacturing environment and take ownership of non-production purchasing activity that keeps the wider business running smoothly.

The Role

As Indirect Purchasing Coordinator, you will manage the procurement of indirect goods and services — including MRO items, packaging consumables, PPE, engineering spares, and facilities-related supplies. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders across engineering, facilities, and operations to ensure the right products arrive at the right time, at the right cost.

Key responsibilities include:

• Raising and processing purchase orders for indirect categories
• Building and maintaining relationships with existing suppliers
• Sourcing new suppliers and negotiating pricing where appropriate
• Monitoring stock levels and lead times to avoid supply disruption
• Resolving invoice queries and discrepancies with suppliers and finance
• Supporting cost-saving initiatives across indirect spend categories
• Maintaining accurate records within the purchasing/ERP system

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in a purchasing, procurement, or buying support role, ideally within an FMCG, food manufacturing, or industrial environment
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple suppliers and orders simultaneously
• Confident communicator, comfortable liaising with internal departments and external suppliers
• Good working knowledge of Excel; experience with an ERP/MRP system is advantageous
• A proactive, detail-focused approach with strong problem-solving skills

What's on Offer

• Salary up to £29,000, dependent on experience
• A stable, growing FMCG business with genuine opportunities for progression
• A varied role at the heart of the site's day-to-day operations
• Full-time, site-based in Gainsborough

If you're an experienced purchasing professional looking for your next step within a supportive, hands-on FMCG environment, we'd love to hear from you.
