About the Opportunity

Join a local, growing, Top Workplace that values people, collaboration, and continuous improvement! We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Purchasing Specialist to take the lead on company-wide purchasing activities, centralize processes, and help shape our procurement strategy as we continue to grow.

This role requires a professional who is both tactical and strategic — someone who can dive into the details of day-to-day buying while also contributing to the bigger-picture strategy and process development. It’s currently a non-management role, but has the potential to evolve as the company expands.

If you’re energized by the opportunity to make a real impact in a supportive, growth-focused environment, this could be your next great career move!

• Lead all buying and sourcing activities to support contract manufacturing operations, including machining, stamping, and fabrication.
• Manage purchasing of raw materials (metal sheet, bar, coil stock), components, tooling, and VMI programs.
• Monitor, manage, and reconcile inventory levels and transactions for accuracy, while implementing proactive and responsible purchasing practices.
• Conduct supplier evaluations and develop relationships focused on quality, accountability, cost reduction, and contract negotiation.
• Analyze steel and metal market trends and internal demand to support sales and operations planning.
• Develop and maintain accurate purchasing and payment records.
• Lead discrepancy resolution in partnership with operations and accounting.
• Support general purchasing needs across the organization, including office supplies and miscellaneous request
