  • Track and update orders within the ERP system
  • Maintain accurate vendor and purchasing records
  • Support inventory needs and ensure materials are available for production

What We’re Looking For

  • 3–5+ years of purchasing or buyer experience
  • Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment
  • Experience issuing and managing purchase orders (POs)
  • Strong communication skills working with vendors and internal teams
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
  • Experience with an ERP system (Great Plains is a plus)
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Outlook

Preferred Experience

Experience purchasing one or more of the following:

  • Industrial parts or components
  • Electrical components
  • Steel, fabrication, or raw materials
  • MRO or shop supplies

Compensation & Benefits

  • 401(k) with 10% company match
  • Company-paid life insurance and short-term disability
  • Paid time off and holidays

Work Environment

  • Full-time, 100% on-site role in Dayton, OH
  • Manufacturing and office environment
  • Collaborative team supporting production and operations
