  6. Support the Finance team by resolving procurement documentation issues
  7. Assist with Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) related to products or suppliers
  8. Develop strong supplier relationships to support long-term success

What You Bring

  1. 1+ year of purchasing experience in manufacturing or construction
  2. 2+ years of supply chain/procurement experience
  3. SCMP designation (in progress or completed) is an asset
  4. Valid Forklift and Driver’s License
  5. Familiarity with ERP systems—experience with NetSuite is a plus
  6. Experience with supplier management, parts and materials ordering
  7. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio)
  8. Strong communication, negotiation, and analytical skills
  9. Organized, detail-oriented, and a natural team player

Compensation
