Purchasing Coordinator

Job Ref: 10929

The opportunity you've been waiting for


Does the idea of working in a busy, hands-on procurement team where your work genuinely keeps the business moving sound right for you?

This is not a run-of-the-mill PO processing role. From starting negotiations, overseeing tenders, managing supplier relationships - this is a chance to make something of a procurement career in a role that is quite unique in the industry.

Based in Fraserburgh, this is an opportunity for an organised, commercially minded procurement professional to join a team that values curiosity, precision, and getting things done.

How you'll make your mark

 
  • Support end-to-end procurement activity across goods, materials, services, and contracts — from raising orders through to delivery.
  • Start negotiations and oversee tenders, researching options and securing the best price and quality for the business.
  • Gather, analyse, and interpret data including spend reports, KPIs, market comparisons, and tender information.
  • Ensure compliance with purchasing procedures and support end users across technical, engineering, and supply chain teams.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers.
  • Monitor supplier performance and contribute to forecasting and reporting activity.
  • Stay on top of orders from placement through to delivery, proactively managing progress without waiting to be chased.

What's in it for you

 
  • Up to £30,000 per annum.
  • A varied role covering goods, materials, services and contracts — quite unique in the industry.
  • Exposure to supplier performance, KPIs, spend reporting and forecasting.
  • The chance to build strong commercial and negotiation skills working under a fantastic leader.
  • Ongoing training and development aligned to your personal and company goals.
  • A supportive team environment where your contribution is visible and valued.
  • Real opportunities to develop within procurement and the wider supply chain function.

A bit more about the business


This is a company that genuinely invests in its people and takes procurement seriously as a function. Based in Fraserburgh, the team works across a diverse range of categories and has the scope and ambition to develop strong commercial capability within the business.

Denholm's take


What stands out here is the breadth of the role and the quality of the leadership. For someone early in their procurement career, the combination of hands-on variety, commercial exposure, and genuine development support is difficult to find in a single position.

If you are organised, curious, and ready to take ownership of your work, get in touch for a confidential conversation.
