Vulcan TEE, part of the global Spirax Group, is a leading manufacturer of industrial heating and cooling solutions.
We are seeking a Purchasing & Inventory Coordinator to play a critical role in supporting production by ensuring materials, components, and stock are available when needed.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who understands the realities of a manufacturing environment — lead times, stock pressure, production demands, and supplier performance.

- Stable role within a global manufacturing organisation
- Work closely with production, engineering, and operations teams
- Broad role with exposure to end-to-end supply chain processes
- Opportunity to influence cost control, supplier performance, and stock efficiency
This role focuses on ensuring continuity of supply into a live production environment. You will be responsible for purchasing materials, managing stock levels, and working closely with production to prevent disruptions.
