In this job you ll be appreciated for using those attributes and then upskilled even more! You ll join a global fibre optic company who lead the way in connectivity. That means you ll be buying components for products across design, prototype and wide-scale distribution so stock planning (not forecasting) is key. You ll quickly get up to speed on analysing technical drawing to compile BOMs and staying on top of the large product inventory. Optimising stock quality, cost and lead time is a given in any Buyer role but you ll also get to work with your colleagues globally to help with sourcing and technical queries.

It s a hybrid role, based in the friendly Basingstoke office Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. To hit the ground running you will need to have technical buying experience from industries like telecoms, engineering or component manufacturing.
