As an Operational Purchasing Coordinator you ensure that the right materials are available at the right time. The suppliers have already been selected and the commercial agreements have been established; from that point onwards, you take operational responsibility for the purchasing process. You are the link between suppliers, planning, production and logistics. You monitor purchase orders and delivery times, actively manage suppliers and take action whenever risks arise that could impact production. In a dynamic high-tech manufacturing environment, priorities can change quickly. It is therefore important that you maintain an overview, anticipate potential issues and take ownership until a problem has been fully resolved. What will you do? Place, manage and monitor purchase orders for raw materials and components. Monitor delivery times and coordinate deliveries with production and factory planning. Act as the first operational point of contact for suppliers and hold them accountable for agreements and performance. Work closely with Demand Planning, Manufacturing, Logistics and other internal stakeholders. Make operational purchasing decisions based on lead times, costs and the total cost of a product or delivery. Identify risks, deviations and bottlenecks at an early stage and take ownership of resolving them. Investigate the root causes of recurring issues and contribute to structural improvements within purchasing and supply chain. Ensure accurate administration and reliable data in SAP/ERP systems. Arbeidsvoorwaarden A gross monthly salary between €3,300 and €5,200, excluding holiday allowance. 27 vacation days plus 13 ADV days. A good pension scheme and travel allowance. A personal development and growth plan. Plenty of opportunities to further develop your skills across different technical disciplines and projects. An innovative and entrepreneurial working environment within the high-tech manufacturing industry. Flexible working hours within a 24/7 productio environment. Free lunch or dinner at the location. An iPhone, laptop and other tools you need to perform your job effectively. Free sport facilities. Functie-eisen A Bachelor's degree (HBO) in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration or a technical field. At least 3 years of experience in operational purchasing, procurement or supply chain coordination. Experience within a technical or manufacturing environment is a strong advantage. You take ownership and do not let go of an issue until it has been resolved. You are able to manage multiple and changing priorities while maintaining a clear overview. You communicate easily with both internal stakeholders and external suppliers. You have a good command of the English language, both verbally and in writing. Experience with SAP or another ERP system is relevant for this position. Hier kom je te werken You will work in an innovative high-tech manufacturing environment in the Eindhoven region. The organization develops and manufactures complex technological solutions for various international markets, including the energy transition, healthcare, digitalization and industrial automation. Different disciplines work closely together within the organization. Engineering, manufacturing, supply chain and development form an integrated environment in which advanced technology is developed and brought from concept to series production.
