Job Description

Shuert Technology – Sterling Heights, MI - Full-Time

As leaders in reusable transport packaging for more than 50 years, we depend on strong supply chain partnerships and effective purchasing practices to support a diverse range of industries. With a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction, we are seeking a proactive Purchasing Coordinator to support our operations and help ensure a reliable supply of materials and services.

Why This Role Stands Out

· Full ownership of purchasing activities

· High visibility with operations and leadership

What You’ll Do

· Source and procure plastics resins, direct components, packaging, and MRO supplies

· Manage purchase orders, pricing, and supplier performance

· Maintain inventory levels aligned with production demand

· Troubleshoot supply issues (delays, shortages, quality concerns)

· Build and manage vendor relationships

· Own purchasing data and transactions in Plex by Rockwell Automation (ERP)

· Support accounts payable invoice accuracy

What You Bring

· Purchasing experience in a manufacturing environment

· Experience in plastics or thermoforming strongly preferred

· Comfortable working independently and owning outcomes

· ERP experience (Plex is a strong asset)

· Strong negotiation, organization, and problem-solving skills

The Fit

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, accountability, and being the go-to person for purchasing—while still having team support when it counts.
