Supply Chain Co-Ordinator

We’re looking for an organised, proactive and commercially aware Supply Chain Co-Ordinator to join JTAPE Ltd and play a key role in supporting our day-to-day procurement and supply chain operations.

Working closely with our Procurement & Supply Chain Manager and teams across Production Planning, Operations, Quality, Finance and Warehouse, you’ll help ensure the materials we need are in the right place at the right time – keeping production moving while maintaining accurate inventory and supplier information.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with purchasing, supply chain or materials experience who enjoys working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and taking ownership of getting things done.

 

The Role

Reporting to the Procurement & Supply Chain Manager, you will translate approved material requirements into timely purchase orders, monitor stock and supplier deliveries, resolve day-to-day discrepancies, and provide accurate information to support our cost, service, continuity and working-capital objectives.

 

Your key responsibilities will include:

 

• Purchasing & Expediting

  – Raise and process accurate purchase orders for raw materials, packaging, and consumables. Monitor open orders, obtain supplier acknowledgements, and expedite or reschedule deliveries to help maintain production continuity.

• Inventory Control

  – Monitor raw-material usage, investigate stock variances and support cycle counts, helping to maintain accurate ERP/MRP records and master data.

• Import & Logistics

  – Coordinate inbound logistics and transport requirements, including the management of international shipping, import procedures and associated documentation.

• Query Resolution

  – Investigate and resolve purchase order, goods receipt, and invoice discrepancies, working closely with Goods Inwards, Quality, Finance and suppliers.

• Supplier Support

  – Communicate confidently with suppliers regarding orders, deliveries, documentation, and routine supply issues.

• Continuous Improvement

  – Support price comparisons, supplier onboarding, and material trials for new product development, while contributing to waste-reduction and cost-saving initiatives.

 

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be highly organised, comfortable working with detail and able to manage competing priorities in a busy environment.

 

Ideally, you will have:

 

• Previous experience in purchasing, procurement, supply chain, material control or inventory administration.
• Practical experience of international imports, shipping procedures and documentation.
• Experience within a fast-paced manufacturing environment would be highly advantageous.
• Experience using ERP/MRP systems and a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office.
• A disciplined and accurate approach to data entry, stock records and administration.
• Strong numeracy and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret stock levels, demand, forecasts and supplier lead times.
• Good problem-solving skills and the confidence to investigate discrepancies and see issues through to resolution.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with suppliers and colleagues across the business.
• A proactive, positive approach and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

 

Why Join JTAPE?

This is a hands-on role where your work will have a direct impact on production, customer service, and the wider performance of the business.

You’ll work across multiple areas of JTAPE, gaining broad exposure to procurement, inventory management, logistics and manufacturing supply chain operations while having the opportunity to contribute ideas and improvements.

If you’re organised, commercially minded and enjoy the challenge of keeping a busy manufacturing supply chain running smoothly, we’d love to hear from you.
