Our technology powers EVERYTHING with a digital component: we produce innovative equipment that enables the world’s biggest names in electronics to bring their technology to market. We also enjoy a forward-thinking environment where continuous investment powers opportunities to work on exciting new projects on a global scale.
While we have offices – and career opportunities - around the world, the real magic happens at our Product Innovation Centre in Weymouth, where our people are quietly but confidently working to enable and evolve digitisation on a global scale.
They enjoy challenge and opportunity in equal measure, sharpen their skills and knowledge, be exposed to multiple disciplines, and experiment at the cutting edge. The teams get to do it all in an environment where we put people first, are collaborative and friendly, and everyone enjoys living and working in a location that offers the best of city, country, and coast.
We think you will like it too.
The Role
As the range of projects we work on continues to grow, so does our team.
We are looking for a Technical Procurement Engineer to join our Supply Chain Management (SCM) Procurement team at our Product Innovation Centre in Weymouth.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone with an engineering or technician background who enjoys working closely with design teams and suppliers. Rather than focusing solely on purchasing, you'll use your technical knowledge to influence product design, improve manufacturability and cost, and ensure components are sourced effectively from concept through to production.
