About this role
About Isembard
Isembard is rebuilding industrial capacity through a connected network of factories. We bring skilled people, advanced machine tools and our own software, MasonOS, together to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and robotics.
The role
You will track every order through to delivery, and build the supplier base we need for it. We buy capacity rather than owning every machine, so our suppliers are a production asset, not a purchasing function. Today we work with a handful; by April we want eight qualified suppliers across turned parts, milled parts and surface treatment.
You report to the Head of Operations, work daily with the Operations Manager and run your work in MasonOS. A fit for someone who chases without being reminded. The package includes equity.
• Own order status from start to finish, solid enough that others base decisions on it.
• Run RFQs yourself: package drawings and STEP files, send, chase, compare and award.
• Qualify suppliers on ISO 9001, in-house measurement, first article inspection and 3.1 certificates, and set up frame agreements with call-offs.
• Manage surface and heat treatment (anodising type II and III, passivation, 17-4PH H900) and material supply for our own machines.
• Make sure nothing leaves without export control and confidentiality release, and ask make or buy on every repeat part.
What you bring
• Organisation and attention to detail while priorities shift around you.
• The ability to read a technical drawing and see what drives its cost.
• RFQs and negotiations you have run yourself, not through central purchasing.
• Clear writing and speaking, and calm analysis when the situation is not calm.
• Native German and confident English.
• Useful, not essential: turned parts and Swiss-type turning, surface and heat treatment, ERP or MES, aerospace or defence with EN 9100, or a supplier network in Northern Germany.
Applications in German or English are welcome. Lieber auf Deutsch? Hier bewerben .
