Buyers - Why You Should Apply
An extra day off every month
As a Buyer with this South Wales manufacturer, you'll be on flexitime. Once you pass probation, you get up to 12 extra days off a year. Add 32 days' holiday, and you'll have a long weekend most months, for family, trips away, or simply catching up on life.
Perks with real cash value
There's an electric vehicle lease scheme, nursery support through salary sacrifice, and a health cash plan covering dental, optical and physio. Parking and EV charging are free on site, so more of your salary stays in your pocket.
Two days a week at home
You can work from home up to two days a week. That means fewer commutes, lower fuel bills, and quieter days to focus on orders and negotiations.
Room to grow your career
This is a stable, considerate employer with low staff turnover and a strong record of developing its people. You'll buy across a wide range of components, building the broad purchasing experience that moves careers forward.
