The Opportunity
Modini is looking for a Junior Buyer to join our growing Supply Chain team and support the day-to-day purchasing activity behind our engineering and manufacturing programmes.
This is a hands-on role. You'll be raising purchase orders, speaking to suppliers, chasing deliveries, keeping our purchasing and ERP information accurate and helping make sure the right materials and components are in the right place at the right time. For someone looking to build a career in procurement and supply chain, it offers a great opportunity to gain experience within a fast-moving engineering environment and work closely with Engineering, Quality, Assembly, Finance and Project teams.
We're growing quickly, so you'll also have the opportunity to get involved in improving how we work as our supply chain capability develops.
What you'll be doing
You'll work closely with our Supply Chain Manager and wider business to:
- Raise and maintain purchase orders for components, materials, sub-assemblies and subcontract services.
- Obtain supplier quotations and support purchasing decisions.
- Monitor order acknowledgements and proactively chase suppliers and deliveries.
- Keep purchasing records, ERP data, trackers and open-order information accurate and up to date.
- Identify and escalate potential delivery, quality or supply issues before they become bigger problems.
- Support supplier onboarding and maintain relevant supplier documentation.
- Help coordinate Goods In and Goods Out activities, including documentation and material movements.
- Support inventory accuracy and traceability.
- Liaise with Engineering, Quality, Assembly, Finance and Project teams to understand and support their requirements.
- Help develop and improve our purchasing and supply chain processes as the business grows.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Strong organisation and attention to detail.
- Confidence communicating with suppliers and colleagues across the business.
- The ability to manage several priorities and follow things through to completion.
- Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, Outlook and Word.
- An interest in engineering, manufacturing or technical products.
- Experience using, or the willingness to learn, ERP/MRP or purchasing systems.
- The right to work in the UK and the ability to obtain appropriate UK security vetting where required.

We're also interested in people who are curious about improving how things are done, including using digital tools, automation and AI where they can make our processes better.
Development
This role provides a strong foundation for someone wanting to develop a career in procurement and supply chain.
