Are you a Site Manufacturing Director looking for your next interim contract?

Our client is a pharmaceutical batch manufacturer and needs your skills to oversee their operations until a permanent recruit is appointed.

Over the past twelve months, they have made changes to their site leadership team and invested heavily in new, industry-leading machinery. They are keen to develop their production processes to achieve the levels of output and quality standards their customers require.

As a Manufacturing Director with significant experience of working in pharmaceutical manufacturing, you'll know what that entails. The operational staff are enthusiastic but need guidance in lean/CI techniques to improve their performance. As such, you'll need to take a hands-on approach to training, mentoring, and developing those teams.

Given the nature of their products, quality is paramount. Indeed, you'll be working closely with their new Quality Director to help them hit their production targets while improving product quality and the quality culture of the company.

Our client envisages you will be degree qualified in an engineering discipline and your background will include GMP within a batch manufacturing, pharmaceutical environment. They feel their operational teams will respond well to a hands-on, visible leader who is ever-present and taking an active role in their training, mentoring, and daily problem-solving. As such, you'll probably have a collaborative style and will be comfortable engaging with all levels of the business.

As you can imagine, there is much more detail to discuss on this role, so please indicate your interest by emailing your CV, quoting reference LX 942274

INTERIM SENIOR BUYER/CONTRACT MANAGER - NEW PRODUCT INNOVATION

"An interim role for an experienced senior buyer/contract manager to create a new procurement supply chain for an innovative nuclear project".

North West

£Very Competitive Interim Rate (Dependent Upon Experience)

Buyers come in all shapes and sizes-from buying stock for a retail shop to sourcing components for a large-scale manufacturing operation.

All buying roles have a niche element and particularly in the nuclear industry. Our client is a key player in the UK nuclear engineering sector and is in the early stages of a new project.

As such, they need an experienced buyer to join their team and create supply relationships with key contractors.

Initially, they need to partner with design companies to arrange the supply of professional design services for the project to take it through to manufacture. As the senior buyer, you'll be required to work closely with the in-house product design and development team to source these suppliers and manage the tendering process.

When the contracts are awarded, you'll then create contract review processes to manage the supplier relationship.

Ultimately, our client's vision is to bring a new product to market which will be continually manufactured. As the project grows, you will need to bring other people into your procurement team to manage the day-to-day activities while your focus changes to creating the long-term supply chain strategy for the final assembly.

As for your background, our client anticipates that you will be a degree-qualified, strategic category and procurement management professional. Your previous experience will include working within a highly regulated industry such as nuclear, oil and gas, aerospace, or petrochemical.

Ideally, you will have worked with fuel assembly systems, precision engineering, and automated process technology. However, as a minimum, you'll need to be familiar with how complex engineering projects are created and the various purchasing challenges faced with a new product development process.

Initially, our client is offering an 18-month contract for this position, but they expect the project to last 2-5 years before reaching maturity.
