* Collaborate with site teams to ensure compliance with cGMP and regulatory standards.
What We're Looking For
* 4+ years of experience in an inventory or MRO-related position.
* Experience in a pharmaceutical, manufacturing, or engineering environment is highly desirable.
* Strong knowledge of engineering parts and their applications.
* Ability to manage vendor relationships remotely and source parts effectively.* Analytical problem-solving skills and the ability to react to change.
* Systems experience with SAP, Ariba, or Maximo is a plus.
* Strong organisation skills and the ability to handle engineering queries efficiently.
* Access to own transport is essential, as public transport is not available for this location.
Why Apply?
* Competitive salary based on experience (€35k-€45k).
* Opportunity to work in a dynamic, highly regulated environment.
* Potential for permanent employment following the initial 12-month contract.
* A chance to apply technical expertise in MRO, obsolescence management, and engineering parts sourcing.
