Full job descriptionProcurement Manager
Up to £55,000 DOE + excellent benefits | Full-time with early Friday finish | Progression available
Bedford location. On-site role with occasional remote working.
We’re working with our client in Bedford to recruit a hands-on, commercially driven Procurement Manager. This is a standout opportunity to join an established yet growing business.
You’ll shape procurement strategy, strengthen supplier performance, and ensure cost-secure delivery across complex engineering projects, while leading and developing a small, capable team.
What You’ll Be Doing
*Driving procurement strategy across high-value engineered projects
*Building long-term supplier partnerships and negotiating robust agreements
*Working closely with engineering and project teams from early design through to delivery
*Managing sourcing for critical, bespoke and long-lead components
*Leading cost-down, value-engineering and supply-chain improvement initiatives
*Overseeing supplier performance, quality, delivery and commercial compliance
*Managing and developing a small procurement team
What We’re Looking For
*Background in high-value, low-volume manufacturing, ideally pumps, machining, rotating equipment or castings (ideal but not essential. Related industries also an advantage).
*Strong commercial acumen and experience negotiating complex supplier agreements
*Confident operating in a project-based engineering environment
*Able to balance strategic leadership with hands-on procurement activity
*Excellent communicator and relationship builder
*Comfortable managing multiple projects and suppliers simultaneously
*Technical understanding of mechanical systems or engineered components
Why This Role Stands Out
*Salary up to £55,000 depending on experience
*Excellent benefits package
*High-value, bespoke engineering - not commodity purchasing
*Early Friday finish
*Opportunities for career progression
*A role where your technical and commercial strengths genuinely matter!
