You'll spend time visiting customers, understanding their applications, identifying opportunities and building long-term partnerships. Working closely with the engineering team, you'll help customers find the right solutions while driving profitable growth for the business.

Are you looking for a graduate engineering role that will give you more than just CAD work? This is an opportunity to join a successful engineering business where you'll gain experience across multiple aspects of engineering, from design and product development through to quotations, projects and customer applications. You'll work closely with experienced engineers who will support your development, giving you the opportunity to build practical skills and industry knowledge that will accelerate your career.

The Candidate:
We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, curious and keen to build a successful engineering career. The ideal candidate will have:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
- Experience using CAD software, ideally SolidWorks
- Strong problem-solving skills and a practical approach
- Excellent communication skills
- A willingness to learn and get involved in a wide variety of activities
- A proactive attitude and desire to take ownership of tasks
- Career building opportunity
- Flexible hours & good benefits package
- A genuinely supportive and friendly team
Fancy joining a small, friendly engineering team where what you do actually matters? We're looking for someone with a knack for building genuine relationships with suppliers, a sharp eye for detail, and the kind of can-do attitude that makes an SME tick.
In this role you'll take ownership of purchase orders from start to finish, chasing deliveries, liaising with suppliers, and stepping in when timelines need a nudge. You'll be the friendly, persistent voice on the phone that gets things moving (because, let's face it, suppliers do more for people they actually like working with). As you grow into the role, there's real scope to get involved in supplier performance, KPIs, and process improvements too.
This isn't a job where you'll be stuck behind a desk all day. It’s a close-knit team, so when things get busy, everyone mucks in, whether that's helping pack a delivery crate or covering reception for ten minutes. If you like variety and don't mind rolling your sleeves up, you'll fit right in.
You will be responsible for the following:
- Raising purchase orders, and managing the orders through to delivery
- Updating and maintaining all purchasing records and data within the ERP.
- Building relationships with suppliers to ensure a good working relationship, and monitoring supplier performance.
- Looking for opportunities to improve the supply chain
- Working closely with other members of the department including production planning and the wider supply chain team.
The Candidate:
- Experience raising orders and managing suppliers (any industry – manufacturing, planning, procurement or supply chain backgrounds all welcome)
- Comfortable using an ERP/MRP system
- Solid Excel skills
- A natural relationship-builder who's happy to pick up the phone
- That SME mindset: flexible, proactive, and happy to help wherever needed
You'll shape the financial strategy of a business on a clear path to doubling in size, increasing your impact and future leadership prospects. With international expansion already underway, you’ll guide the next phase of growth across global markets while strengthening your expertise in multi-entity finance and strategic planning.
This is a chance to work closely with the MD, where your insights won’t just inform decisions - they’ll drive them. You’ll also get access to share options, a matched pension up to 7.5% and a healthy annual bonus that rewards your long-term contribution.
On top of that, you’ll have the freedom to oversee and improve key business functions beyond finance - HR, IT and facilities - giving you broader operational exposure and more influence on how the business runs day-to-day.
What you'll do
You will be investigating, summarising, reporting on, and making recommendations on how to improve what they are doing. You will be leading the finance team and providing a high-quality service to all stakeholders.
You’ll work side-by-side with the MD, coaching P&L managers and supporting decisions that shape the company’s future.
Take ownership of financial management across international entities, with opportunities to lead new market entries and support expansion.
You’ll also oversee shared services, making sure HR, IT and facilities enable, not hold back, performance. With recent acquisitions in play, you’ll lead financial integration and help drive a smooth, high-impact growth journey.
What you'll need
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with senior finance experience in an SME or complex division
- Confidence in international operations and multi-entity structures
- Pragmatic and hands-on approach, able to challenge the MD constructively and hold your position under pressure
- Ideally based within commuting distance of Northampton, with four days per week in the office
About the company
They’re a world-leading designer and manufacturer of advanced scientific instruments. Their technology supports critical decision-making across energy, mining, academia, and government - playing an increasingly important role in the global energy transition.
- The chance to use your electronic knowledge to help global companies with product support
- Perfect opportunity for Graduates or Apprentices with an electronics qualification
- Extensive training provided
- Some exciting international travel opportunities
Are you someone who genuinely loves electronics - not just on paper, but in practice? Do you enjoy getting into the detail of how things work, and then explaining that to others in a way that makes sense to them?
This is a rare opportunity to join a specialist British manufacturer whose technology is trusted by some of the world's biggest engineering organisations across the world.
You won't be fixing anything yourself. What you'll be doing is helping companies, big and small, understand that they can fix things themselves - and showing them exactly how. It's a role where your enthusiasm for electronics and your ability to communicate will serve you well.
The Role: Customer Support Engineer
Think of this as being an electronics ambassador for a better way of doing things. The world wastes an enormous amount by scrapping electronics that could be saved! You would be:
- Getting to know potential customers and helping them understand how they could transform the way they handle electronic maintenance and repair.
- Delivering product demonstrations and training to engineers and managers at some of the world's leading organisations.
- Providing training and technical support to customers, guiding them through implementation and helping them get confident with the products.
- Attending webinars, exhibitions and seminars.
- Working closely with a brilliant internal team across applications, marketing and commercial functions.
- Occasionally travelling internationally (3-4 times a year) to visit customers.
What We're Looking For:
More than anything, we're looking for someone who genuinely loves electronics and hardware. Not just as a subject they studied - as something they're curious about, hands-on with, and excited to talk about.
If this sounds like the role you didn't know existed - a job where your love of electronics and your love of people finally work together - we'd love to hear from you. Whether you have experience in industry or not!
- Monday - Friday (half-day finish on Fridays)
- Package includes bonus scheme, pension and life assurance
- Opportunity to shape how we grow
This is a genuinely rare find: a senior supply chain role inside a family-run manufacturer that's ready to be transformed. You'll have real ownership - not just a seat at the table, but the pen in your hand to redesign how goods flow in and out of the business.
Two things matter most right now: improving on-time inbound delivery and driving up quality. Beyond that, you'll build the foundations - strategic sourcing, demand planning, logistics, supplier relationships - that let the business scale with confidence.
What you'll own
- Lead day-to-day supply chain operations: identify material needs, negotiate on price and lead times, and partner with the purchasing team to keep the order process running smoothly.
- Develop and execute sourcing strategies that actively support business growth - not just maintain the status quo.
- Build strong, lasting supplier relationships with clear accountability around quality, cost, and delivery performance.
- Put a proper supplier performance framework in place: measure, report, and resolve issues before they become problems.
- Support inventory control during stock counts and lead the resolution of discrepancies.
What you'll bring
- Proven supply chain or purchasing management experience in a manufacturing environment.
- A track record of implementing supplier development processes that actually stick.
- Strong analytical thinking and the ability to lead change without losing people along the way.
- Clear, confident communication - you challenge assumptions, stay detail-oriented, and keep driving toward results.
- Commission Scheme
- Annual Bonus
- Healthcare plan & Pension
- Flexible hours, with a half day on Fridays
