Purchasing Manager - Cornwall (Hybrid) - up to £60,000 + Benefits - REF 2061

I am currently recruiting for a Purchasing Manager to work for a leading engineering organisation based in Cornwall (Hybrid). Salary up to £60,000 + Benefits.

The organisation has been established for over 35 years and has an incredible reputation in the market positioning them as one of the UK's leading suppliers of their highly specialist products.

To support the ambitious, but realistic growth plans of the business they have created a completely new role within their business and have the need to appoint a Purchasing Manager on a permanent basis.

About the Role

In this role a Purchasing Manager, you will be responsible for heading up a purchasing department and will be managing 2 other Buyers as well as being hands on within the role. You will take complete responsibility for Purchasing within the business and will be integral to defining how the department operates. You will be dealing with day to day buying, specifically with regards to imports from their suppliers in Europe and the Far East. This could involve supplier visits from time to time, but isn't necessary if the travel element doesn't appeal. The other aspect of the role would be looking at Quality control relating to the non conformance of products that come in and conducting necessary root cause analysis on them to establish the issue and then following up with the supplier to resolve the issue. It's a very high volume role with circa 20,000 SKU's.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
