Purchaser: Adhesives (20–40 %)

About the job

The Company

KDT AG (Adhesive and Dispensing Technology AG) in Dietikon is the largest Loctite dealer in Switzerland and an A-partner of Henkel. We supply around 2,500 active end customers as well as 180 resellers with adhesives, sealants and dispensing technology. A small, well-coordinated team with short communication lines and quick decisions.

What It’s About

Until now, we have had no dedicated purchasing department. Orders, conditions and supplier contacts are distributed among various employees. We want to change this and gradually establish purchasing as an independent position/department. An experienced person will build the function in a manageable workload, bring structure and show the potential.

Your Tasks

• Purchasing of adhesives, sealants and technical trading products
• Negotiation of prices, conditions and framework agreements with our suppliers
• Coordination of purchasing topics from day-to-day business – interface between sales, warehouse and suppliers
• Handling the entire ordering process in SAP for defined suppliers: orders, order confirmations, delivery date tracking
• Overview of stocks, delivery times and reorders
• Establishment of simple, sustainable processes and foundations for purchasing (supplier overview, conditions overview, ordering process)

Your Profile

• Confident SAP user knowledge in purchasing – you work independently in the system from day one
• Several years of experience in technical purchasing or trading with chemical/adhesive or industrial products
• Negotiation strength and presence with established suppliers
• Independent, structured working style
• Routine in Excel; fluent German, English for supplier contact

What We Offer

• A role that you can shape from the ground up yourself
• A workload that can be combined with other commitments or a reduced working model
• A good team that supports you during onboarding
• 5 weeks’ holiday, attractive social benefits and 13th month’s salary
• Free parking and good public transport connections
