You'll be liaising with suppliers for products arriving at the centre and working closely with our Gaydon and St Athan production teams to ensure quality is of the highest level. You'll have exceptional communication skills as you'll be liaising verbally and in writing with our supply chain and procurement teams and our suppliers of inbound
shipments.

Training and support will be provided to bring you up to speed on our procedures and processes and once you've settled into the role you'll be able to make timely decisions on parts and quality.
