• Support supplier selection, qualification, and performance improvement efforts
• Track supplier performance related to quality, cost, and delivery
• Resolve supplier issues and claims in a timely, professional manner
• Maintain accurate purchasing and supplier data within the ERP system (SAP preferred)
• Coordinate supplier visits and support sourcing-related travel (up to 15%)

What We're Looking For

• Experience purchasing fabricated or custom-built components (machined, welded, sheet metal, assemblies, or similar)
• Background in a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Comfortable reading and interpreting engineering drawings and written specifications
• Experience sourcing technical or industrial materials
• Strong ERP experience (SAP strongly preferred)
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects at once
• Clear communication skills with both engineering teams and suppliers
