PM/CNV Procurement Specialist

ABOUT THE ROLE

Looking to kick-start your career in a fast-paced, dynamic manufacturing environment? This could be your perfect first step!

At Sofidel UK, we’re looking for a CNV/PM Procurement Specialist to help keep our paper mills and converting operations running smoothly by ensuring the right materials are in the right place at the right time.

And just to be clear — this is NOT a purchasing or contract negotiation role. Instead, you’ll be focused on coordination, planning, communication, and keeping everything flowing like clockwork.

Full training is provided, so this role is ideal for someone early in their career who’s eager to learn, grow, and develop within a global business.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

You’ll be at the heart of our operations, making sure everything connects seamlessly by:

• Ensuring production plans can be delivered by securing timely raw material availability
• Coordinating procurement activities based on production needs, stock levels, warehouse space, and forecasts
• Working closely with suppliers to track deliveries and quantities (no price or contract negotiations involved)
• Communicating daily with teams across Planning, Logistics, Operations, Product, Purchasing, Marketing and Salles, and Environmental departments
• Maintaining accurate inventory records and carrying out weekly and monthly stock checks
• Managing stock levels and helping resolve issues such as non-conformities or obsolete materials
• Supporting compliance with Group policies and procedures
• Promoting a strong safety-first culture across all activities
• Living and breathing Sofidel’s Corporate Principles and Values

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We’re not expecting years of experience — we’re looking for the right attitude and potential:

• Excellent communication skills (this role is all about coordination and collaboration!)
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• Willingness to learn and develop in a procurement and supply chain environment
• A proactive, positive mindset
• Ability to build strong working relationships across teams and suppliers
• Full UK driving licence and own transport is essential – our Leicester sites are not served by public transport

WHY JOIN SOFIDEL

At Sofidel, you’ll be part of a global, sustainability-driven business where people matter. We invest in training, development, and long-term careers — so you won’t just start a job here, you’ll start a journey.  

If you're ready to build a career in procurement and become a key part of keeping production moving, we’d love to hear from you!
