Do you bridge the gap between strategy and operations in a dynamic technical environment?

At Faes, we’re growing fast. To realize our ambition, we’re looking for a technical buyer who brings structure and clarity to our supplier base. You won’t focus on chasing daily orders, but will ensure that the agreements underlying them are solid and future-proof.

• Proactive: You don’t wait for a problem to arise, but improve the process proactively.

What do we offer you?

A key position within an ambitious family business where communication lines are short. You’ll have the freedom to make your mark on the procurement policy.

You’ll join a warm family business where people come first and where collaboration and commitment are second nature.
