A well-established international distributor of specialised industrial steel and engineering products is seeking a procurement coordinator, in Primrose, to purchase steel or raw metals and keep processing schedules running smoothly. Offered through The Recruitment Pig, this permanent intermediate role is a highly specialised technical procurement position, and general procurement experience alone will not suffice.
