Purchasing Administrator

We are looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Purchasing Administrator to join our Cresting Operations & Administration team to help keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

This is a full-time, permanent role reporting into the Crested Administration & Operations Purchasing Team Leader. In this role, you’ll make sure the business has everything it needs to operate day-to-day—from placing orders to working with suppliers and supporting different teams across the site. It’s a varied role where no two days are quite the same, and you’ll have a real impact on how efficiently things run.

What you’ll be doing

• Raising and managing purchase orders for operational teams
• Keeping systems and records up to date and compliant
• Helping colleagues across the business with purchasing queries
• Supporting reporting, forecasting, and data analysis
• Chasing and resolving supplier issues (deliveries, quality, payments)
• Keeping an eye on the Goods Received Notice process to make sure everything matches up
• Looking for ways to save costs and improve how we work
• Supporting supplier negotiations and contracts
• Carrying out checks on open purchase orders
• Working with teams like Engineering and EHS on new products or trials

What we’re looking for

You don’t need to tick every box, but ideally you’ll have:

• Some experience in purchasing, procurement, or a similar admin role
• Good working knowledge of Excel and Microsoft Office
• A strong eye for detail and good organisational skills
• Confidence communicating with different teams and suppliers
• A proactive attitude and willingness to get stuck in

Bonus if you have:

• Experience in a manufacturing or operations environment
• Knowledge of systems like AS400
• Any experience with embroidery (helpful, but not essential!)

Why join us? You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team in a role where you can make a real difference, with plenty of opportunities to learn and grow within procurement and operations while enjoying a varied job that keeps you engaged.

We take your wellbeing seriously, with programmes and support for both physical and mental health. You’ll also have free access to our onsite gym and can enjoy fresh, affordable meals in our subsidised restaurant.

Looking ahead, we offer a salary sacrifice pension scheme, employee assistance support, and financial guidance to help you plan for the future. We’re also big on development, with training, tuition support, and plenty of opportunities to keep learning and progressing. You’ll have access to an extensive benefits portal, giving you the flexibility to tailor your benefits to suit you and your lifestyle. On top of that, you’ll benefit from employee discounts, wellbeing incentives, and recognition for the work you do.

Like any good partnership, we start with a short “getting to know each other” phase - our probationary period. Some benefits will be available after successful completion, as you establish yourself in the role.
