Job Description

Admin / Purchasing Assistant | £26,364 per year | Rochdale

Looking for a steady, supportive admin role where your work actually helps things run smoothly?

This is a full-time, office-based role providing day-to-day administrative and purchasing support to a growing engineering business. If you're organised, dependable and take pride in keeping things in order, you’ll fit in well.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

  • Handling incoming calls and emails, greeting visitors and managing general admin

  • Raising purchase orders, chasing suppliers and cross-checking delivery notes

  • Updating calendars, booking travel and managing site-related records (servicing, alarms, utilities etc.)

  • Keeping company documents up to date and supporting other departments as needed

  • Helping maintain a tidy, well-run office that supports the wider team

What’s in it for you:

  • £26,364 per year (based on 39 hours per week)

  • A permanent role with steady hours and supportive colleagues

  • Based at CR Solutions in Rochdale, with occasional contact across the wider group

  • Room to grow your skills in a calm, professional environment

You’ll need:

  • Some experience in an admin or purchasing support role

  • Familiarity with Microsoft Office and a general comfort with using computer systems

  • A steady, reliable approach to work and a good eye for detail

  • A full UK driving licence

Whether you’re just starting out or returning to work after a break, this role suits someone who values routine, enjoys helping others, and prefers a quieter team setting over a noisy sales floor.

About the Company:

CR Solutions is part of the Baldwin Engineering Group and manufactures specialist robotic tooling used by clients across a range of industries. The team is small, friendly and focused on doing good work without fuss. This role plays a key part in keeping the business running smoothly day to day.
