Vacant job

NG Nordic is building its local procurement team in Gävle.

At NG Nordic's facility in Gävle, a lot is happening simultaneously. Production, logistics, and daily operations need to run without interruption, and the company has now chosen to create a new role to get even closer to the operations. We are now looking for an Operational Buyer for the facility in Gävle.

This is not about strategic purchasing far removed from the operations or long multi-level processes. Instead, the idea is for procurement to be close to the people, production, and what is happening on the shop floor every day.

"Someone who makes things happen"

The role of Operational Buyer becomes an important part of the daily work, where the pace is sometimes high and needs can change quickly. The focus is on purchasing related to ongoing operations, everything from maintenance materials and industrial parts to other supplies.

This is why the company is looking for someone who thrives in an industrial environment and enjoys being close to the operations.

Here, you need to be someone who makes things happen, finds it easy to collaborate with different types of people, and thrives in an environment where the pace is sometimes high.

The role is new and has been created based on a clear need within the organization. The goal is to build a more present procurement function where operations receive faster support in their daily tasks and where communication between production and procurement becomes closer.

Are you the right person for the assignment? Then we hope you will submit an application!

Examples of tasks:

• Responsible for operational purchases related to daily operations at the facility.
• Purchase maintenance materials, industrial parts, and other supplies.
• Work closely with production and logistics to ensure the right materials are in the right place at the right time.
• Handle orders, follow-ups, and delivery monitoring.
• Collaborate with employees in operations as well as internal functions.
• Place orders in procurement systems and other systems related to procurement and administration.
• Support operations with procurement-related questions and find practical solutions in everyday work.
• Contribute to developing and building local procurement work at the facility.
• Maintain ongoing contact with suppliers regarding prices, deliveries, and procurement needs.
• Be present in operations and create close collaboration between procurement and production.

Are you the one we are looking for?

We are looking for you who thrive in a practical and operation-close role where collaboration, pace, and problem-solving are a natural part of everyday life. You are confident in yourself, find it easy to connect with people, and enjoy working in an environment where a lot is happening.

We would like you to have:

• Experience in procurement within industry, production, or manufacturing.
• Understanding of operational procurement flows and daily operations in an industrial environment.
• Experience working closely with production, logistics, or maintenance.
• Good administrative and organizational skills.
• Experience working in business systems.
• Ability to handle multiple tasks in parallel and prioritize in a high-paced environment.
• A solution-oriented and non-hierarchical working style.
• Good communication skills and ease in collaborating with different functions.
• Class B driver's license and access to a car.

It is meritorious if you have experience from recycling, industry, or other operations where procurement takes place close to daily production.

The work is primarily based in Gävle with presence also at the facility in Katrineholm. Therefore, both a Class B driver's license and access to a car are required.
