• Purchase raw materials, fabricated components, molded parts, tooling, equipment, and production supplies.
• Monitor purchase orders, inventory levels, supplier lead times, and delivery schedules.
• Identify material shortages, delivery delays, price changes, and supply-chain risks before they affect production.
• Resolve supplier issues involving quality, pricing, technical requirements, and delivery performance.
• Develop alternative suppliers and support cost-reduction, inventory-control, and continuous-improvement initiatives.
• Maintain accurate supplier, purchasing, pricing, and inventory records in the ERP/MRP system.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in manufacturing purchasing, procurement, supply chain, sourcing, materials planning, or inventory management.
• Ability to use CAD software and confidently review CAD files.
• Ability to read engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, and bills of materials.
• Understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, tooling, supplier capabilities, and production requirements.
• Experience managing RFQs and comparing supplier quotations.
• Strong analytical, negotiation, communication, organization, and supplier-management skills.
• Experience with ERP or MRP systems and Microsoft Excel.
