Overview

Operations and Supply Chain Manager (27631) — Hands-on operations role in cutting-edge scientific manufacturing.

This small and well-established engineering company develops and manufactures bespoke and low-volume scientific equipment used by public and private laboratories around the world. These instruments require very particular components and custom mechanical and electronic parts. Procurement and supply chain management is critical. With their current operations manager set to retire, they are seeking someone to take on these responsibilities.

Responsibilities

Start the procurement process with engineering drawings and BOMs and work with engineers to ensure components are suitable and contract manufacturers produce parts correctly.

Lead procurement, compliance, logistics, and related activities to ensure instruments are assembled and delivered to customers intact and on time.

Adapt to surprises and manage a broader remit within a small company, often taking on responsibilities outside the strict job title.

Ensure alignment between manufacturing requirements and supplier capabilities, coordinating with internal teams throughout the lifecycle from design to delivery.

Qualifications

Commercial experience with procurement, supply chain or operations in a manufacturing setting. Ideally in scientific instruments or another low-volume high-value sector.

Experience working in small companies and an understanding that you will pick up various responsibilities over time that aren’t directly related to your job title.

Full and unrestricted rights to work in the UK.

Workplace and Perks

The work environment is friendly and supportive, with autonomy in the role. On-site work is required; remote or hybrid working is not possible. The office is conveniently situated close to road and rail links. The company maintains traditional practices such as regular Friday lunches.
