Home VC planner purchasing (operational purchasing)
We are looking for a Planner / Buyer
As a Planner/Purchaser at Verstegen, you'll ensure our factory can keep running smoothly. You'll be the one to ensure raw materials, ingredients, and packaging are available at the right time. Not next week, not in a month, but today and tomorrow.
You work at the intersection of planning and purchasing. With your sharp eye, sense of priority, and strict follow-through, you prevent downtime. You order, call off orders, monitor delivery times, and ensure the work inventory is correct. This is how you keep the process moving.
Do you see yourself in a role where you can truly make a difference to operations? Then we'd love to meet you.
About the team
You'll be working in the Planning department in Rotterdam. A team where Demand, Supply, Production, and Materials Requirements (MRP) Planning collaborate closely. The department is rapidly developing and is increasingly moving towards a single, integrated approach.
You'll report to the Planning Manager and work closely with production planning and liaise daily with suppliers within the operations. Tactical purchasing creates the contractual agreements; you'll ensure they're put into practice. You'll have the freedom to organize your work effectively and efficiently, and there's always room for improvement!
Your challenges
You'll be responsible for the availability of our work inventory. This means ensuring that everything production needs arrives on time, from herbs and spices to ingredients and packaging materials. You'll work with Slim4 (and have experience with it) and translate production schedules into concrete orders and call-offs. You'll monitor delivery times, identify deviations, and intervene immediately if something threatens to go wrong...
