Company Description
Magico Group was founded in 1992, and our factory in Obour City has been in production since 2005. We are ISO 9001 certified, and we run our own free zone facility on the Cairo–Alexandria desert road.
We manufacture and distribute more than 150 products across agrochemicals, public health, veterinary pesticides and disinfectants, and we are building a second business in fertilizers, industrial minerals and chemicals. Every one of those products starts with a raw material or an active ingredient landing on time, at the right price, from a supplier we can trust.
Role DescriptionYou will run the day-to-day buying that keeps the factory supplied: requesting quotations, comparing them properly, raising purchase orders, and chasing every shipment until it is on our shelf.
This is not paperwork. You are expected to question the first price you are given, find a second and third source, and warn us early when a delivery is going to be late — before it stops a production run.
You will report to the Supply chain Manager and work closely with Production, Stock Control and Finance.
What you will do
- Collect and compare quotations from local and overseas suppliers, and put a clear recommendation in front of your manager — not just the cheapest line
- Raise purchase orders accurately, and confirm prices, quantities, specifications and delivery dates before anything is sent
- Follow up every open order to delivery: production dates, shipping, arrival and receipt at the warehouse
- Track import shipments and documents — Incoterms, invoices, packing lists, certificates of analysis and customs paperwork — and chase whatever is missing
- Work with Stock Control on reorder points and consumption, so requests are raised early enough to be bought well
- Keep supplier records, price history, contracts and purchase files complete and ready for ISO 9001 audits
- Check supplier invoices against orders and delivery notes, and resolve differences with the supplier and Finance
- Log delivery delays, short shipments and quality complaints, and follow them through to a resolution
- Maintain a price list for the materials you buy, and flag when a price moves against us
What you will be measured on
Orders delivered on time, no stockouts caused by late follow-up, accurate purchase orders and records, and savings you found against the first quoted price.
QualificationsEssential
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Chemistry, Engineering or a related field
- 2+ years in procurement, purchasing or supply chain, preferably in manufacturing
- Comfortable comparing quotations on more than price: lead time, payment terms, quality and reliability
- Basic knowledge of importing: Incoterms, shipping documents and customs procedure
- Strong Excel: comparisons, lookups and clean records
- Hands-on ERP experience; Odoo is an advantage
- Organised and persistent. Chasing suppliers until they answer is most of this job
- Good written and spoken English and Arabic
Advantageous
- Experience buying chemicals, raw materials or packaging
- Exposure to letters of credit or bank transfers for imports
- Familiarity with Egyptian import rules for chemicals
- Experience preparing purchase records for an ISO 9001 audit
What We Offer
- * Competitive salary
- Real responsibility for your own suppliers and orders from the start
