Parts Lead

Ray Jurgen Company is hiring a hands‑on Purchasing & Inventory Lead to own purchasing, inventory control, vendor follow‑up, warranty administration, and parts availability across our service and installation operations. This role is based in Bristol, CT and supports inventory across multiple company locations. This is not a desk‑only purchasing role. The right candidate will take direct accountability for inventory accuracy, open purchase orders, cycle counts, vendor follow‑up, warranty claim tracking, shipping/receiving, and physical inventory discipline. We are looking for someone organized, persistent, practical, and comfortable bringing structure to a fast‑moving service and installation environment. Key responsibilities include creating and managing purchase orders, tracking backorders and delayed shipments, coordinating with manufacturers and vendors, maintaining accurate inventory records, establishing cycle count routines, identifying obsolete or slow‑moving inventory, improving bin/location discipline, supporting technician truck stock coordination with the Service Manager, and ensuring warranty claims are properly submitted and vendor credits are received. The role will work closely with Service, Install, Finance, technicians, PMs, and vendors. Service owns customer‑facing warranty communication, service scheduling, service billing, and the primary service quote process. This role supports service quoting with parts pricing, availability, and lead‑time information. Required experience includes purchasing, inventory, parts, warehouse, vendor coordination, shipping/receiving, freight, and physical material handling. Forklift experience or ability to maintain forklift certification is required. Experience with NetSuite or another ERP/inventory system is strongly preferred. Ideal candidates fit Ray Jurgen's core values: Helpful, Hungry, Proud, and Own It . They follow through, communicate clearly, take pride in clean and accurate inventory, and accept accountability for fixing problems rather than working around them. #J-18808-Ljbffr EmergencyMD
