They are seeking a Manufacturing Supply Chain Coordinator to support the flow of materials, components, and hardware through their aerospace manufacturing operation.
This role sits at the centre of an aerospace production environment where traceability, quality, supplier performance, and execution are critical.

Ideal backgrounds include aerospace, defence, aviation/MRO, electronics manufacturing, medical devices, motorsport, automotive OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers, precision engineering, or semiconductor/advanced manufacturing.
Requirements:
- 3+ years' experience in supply chain, procurement, materials planning, inventory control, or manufacturing operations
