Purchasing and Parts Assistant

Salary

£20,000 per annum (based 30h/w)

Hours

30 hours per week (Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 15:00). We offer flexibility on daily hours, but the role requires coverage across 5 days.

About Us

We are a small, family‑run business in the standby power industry. We pride ourselves on offering a relaxed and supportive place to work, where people are approachable, help each other out, and get on well. We work hard, but we also have a laugh and keep the office friendly and down‑to‑earth. Please note, we occasionally have dogs in the office, so this environment is best suited to an animal lover!

The Role

We are looking for a reliable, organised, and practical assistant to support our team. This role perfectly balances system‑based admin with a small element of hands‑on practical work, focusing on checking new work orders, managing parts, and supporting our engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Check new work orders and identify the parts needed
• Add required parts to work orders in Dynamics 365
• Raise purchase orders for parts not held in stock
• Replenish stock by ordering regular parts and consumables
• Receive deliveries and route parts to the correct locations
• Pick parts and prepare physical work packs for engineers
• Follow up with suppliers on deliveries, returns, and back orders
• Process supplier invoices linked to purchase orders
• Complete regular Health & Safety checks
• Assist with basic finance tasks
• Carry out general office admin tasks

What We Are Looking For

• Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills
• Comfortable with both computer systems and practical tasks
• Prior experience in purchasing, stock management, or operational admin in a similar industry is useful, but we are most interested in someone who is reliable and has the right attitude and approach to their work.

Interview Process

Interviews will be scheduled across Friday, 26th June 2026, and Monday, 29th June, between 08:00 and 15:00. The process will take up to 1 hour and will include a short practical assessment followed by a brief discussion with our Operational Support Lead and General Manager.
