What You’ll Do Source and purchase materials, electronic components, and other devices based on Bills of Material (BOMs), drawings, and technical specs.

Partner with Engineering, Production, and Project Management to align procurement with each project’s requirements and timeline.

Issue purchase orders, track deliveries, and follow up with vendors to keep everything on schedule.

Negotiate pricing, delivery terms, and long-term supplier relationships that support both quality and cost efficiency.

Keep accurate records of pricing, vendor performance, and compliance with company standards.

Contribute ideas for cost savings and process improvements — we love continuous improvement!

Support audits and ensure compliance with company and industry standards.

What You’ll Bring Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering , or a related field (preferred). 3+ years of experience in purchasing, procurement, or supply chain — ideally in manufacturing or construction.

Experience buying from drawings and BOMs and working closely with technical teams.

Understanding machine shop capabilities is a plus.

Hands-on experience with ERP / MRP systems (Microsoft Dynamics GP preferred).

Strong ability to research suppliers online and evaluate product specs.

Bonus points if you’ve handled procurement for computer hardware, software, or technical equipment.

Skills That Make You a Great Fit Exceptional organization and attention to detail — you love a good spreadsheet.

Skilled communicator and confident negotiator who builds lasting vendor partnerships.

Analytical thinker with a knack for problem-solving.

Able to juggle multiple priorities while keeping your cool under pressure.

Collaborative, customer-focused, and ready to make things happen.

Why You’ll Love Working Here At NovaTech Automation, you’ll join a team that values integrity, innovation, and teamwork.
