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

·         Support from cross-functional team during peak periods and coverage needs

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.
