About TruCut Incorporated

TruCut is the leading supplier of service parts for the HVAC industry. On behalf of our OEM partners, we produce and ship thousands of private-labeled, genuine OEM parts and assemblies to contractors and distributors across the Western Hemisphere. Additionally, we help our partners navigate their supply chain challenges by supplementing their manufacturing lines and providing the crucial support for small to medium-run production needs. Our goal is to be invaluable to our partners and invisible to their customers so our clients can focus on what they do best.

Who We Are: 

TruCut Incorporated is the leading supplier of out-of-production and low-volume service parts for the HVAC industry. With more than 50 years of experience, we specialize in providing comprehensive solutions for manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution for our OEM customers.

We operate three manufacturing facilities in Salem and Sebring, Ohio, and a distribution center in Alliance, Ohio—home to over 100 dedicated team members. We’re ISO 9001:2015 certified, practice Open Book Management, and play The Great Game of Business because we believe work should be rewarding and engaging.

Right now, we’re looking to hire a full-time Buyer to join our Purchasing Department. This role will be an hourly, non-exempt role that is eligible for overtime pay. The ideal candidate is someone who is passionate about spending money and is detail oriented. Being proactive in solving problems, and eager to be part of a collaborative and growing team is a plus!

Types of Things You’ll Be Doing: 

As a buyer, you’ll be a go-to person for purchasing related questions and helping to solve problems. You’ll build relationships with suppliers and work with department leaders to maintain production flow and realize organizational objectives concerning costs and investments.

Some of the work you’ll be doing includes:

• Utilizing your previous work experience in purchasing to acquire both direct and indirect materials, including but not limited to steel, corrugated packaging, and various other items.
• Sourcing, negotiating, and qualifying potential suppliers to ensure quality and cost-effectiveness.
• Working with our MRP data to determine appropriate purchase order quantities and delivery schedules for assigned items and vendors.
• Request and evaluate quotations, and negotiate pricing, terms, and delivery timelines with suppliers.
• Convert MRO requisitions into purchase orders efficiently and accurately.
• Review receiving documentation and reconciling discrepancies promptly.
• Monitor safety stock levels and overall inventory health to support production needs.
• Collaborate closely with sales, production planning, and inventory teams to ensure uninterrupted material flow.
• Maintain and update vendor master data while developing and sustaining strong supplier relationships.
• Leverage purchasing data to identify cost-saving opportunities and drive process improvements within the supply chain.

Types of Things You Won’t Be Doing: 

You won’t be stuck behind a desk all day or buried in corporate red tape. We don’t do micromanagement or tolerate drama. You also won’t be asked to do it all alone—your teammates in the department will be your support system.

How We Define Success in This Role: 

Success here means you’re approachable and dependable. Teammates know they can count on you to follow through, speak up when something’s off, and be a voice for what’s right. You’ll thrive if you’re curious and resourceful.

What We’d Like From You:  Ideally, you have a bachelor’s degree in supply chain, business administration or a related field and four plus years of experience in purchasing or procurement, ideally in a manufacturing environment. Hopefully, you have strong negotiation and communications skills to match your experience in Microsoft Office and ERP/MRP systems. Finally, you have the ability to pay attention to the details while exhibiting incredible organizational skills when working by yourself or with your teammates.

What You’ll Get in Return

• A competitive hourly wage with overtime eligibility
• • Wage is based on experience and skills.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
• Supplemental insurance availability.
• 401(k) with 4% match.
• Gainsharing bonuses of up to 15%.
• A company-funded $25,000 life insurance policy.
• Paid holidays (8, or 9 if you’re a veteran!) and PTO.
• Tuition reimbursement for job-related continuing education.
• A positive, stable work environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work—and eating donuts on Fridays.

Who Are Your Coworkers?  You’ll be working with down-to-earth, smart, and driven people who care about their work and their coworkers. We’re a team of problem-solvers, DIYers, parents, musicians, coaches, travelers, and people who believe in doing great work and treating others with respect.

Sound like a fit? Send us your resume and anything else you think we should know. We can’t wait to meet you.
