Do you combine technical understanding with commercial awareness? Do you enjoy working with engineers and suppliers to find the right solution—and looking beyond price alone? Then we’d like to hear from you.
Help us build a professional purchasing process that is ready for the future. At KSE, we develop and build machinery and automation solutions for customers around the world. To do this, we work with a broad network of suppliers of technical components, manufactured parts and systems.
As a Technical Buyer, you connect our engineering team with the supplier market. You understand the technical requirements, find suitable suppliers and agree on price, quality, delivery times and terms. Your work goes beyond purchasing for current projects: you will also help us develop supplier relationships and improve the way we organise purchasing.
You will work closely with engineers, project managers and other colleagues involved in customer projects. Together, you will make sure the right parts and systems are available when needed.
Your responsibilities include:
You will look beyond individual projects. You will build long-term supplier relationships and make sure supplier knowledge, information and agreements are accessible within KSE. We are also exploring how data, automation and AI can make purchasing more effective—for example, by comparing quotations, analysing price trends, finding alternative suppliers and identifying delivery risks earlier. You will help determine where these applications can add value in practice.
You can expect a professional, supportive and stimulating working environment where your abilities matter:
