Proudly Recognized as Lancaster County's Best Place to Work!

Excellent Career Growth Opportunities

The Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) Buyer is responsible for sourcing, procuring, and managing Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) materials, equipment, spare parts, and related services to support efficient manufacturing operations. This role ensures the timely availability of critical items, minimizes production downtime, and optimizes procurement costs through effective purchasing, inventory planning, and supplier management.

The ideal candidate has experience in MRO purchasing within a manufacturing environment and possesses strong negotiation, planning, and vendor management skills. This position collaborates closely with Maintenance, Operations, and Finance to maintain inventory levels, improve procurement processes, and support the Company's operational and business objectives.

Responsibilities

Review, process, and issue purchase requisitions and orders for MRO items (e.g., spare parts, tools, consumables, janitorial supplies, maintenance services, and indirect materials).
Expedite orders as needed to prevent production or operational interruptions, while managing lead times and avoiding emergency surcharges.
Track order status, deliveries, and receipts; resolve discrepancies with suppliers and internal stakeholders
Negotiate pricing, terms, payment conditions, and contracts with suppliers to achieve cost savings and competitive advantages
Analyze quotes, market trends, and total cost of ownership to secure the best value without compromising quality or delivery
Identify and pursue cost-reduction opportunities through volume agreements, long-term contracts, or alternative sourcing
Identify, evaluate, qualify, and onboard new suppliers; maintain an approved vendor list for MRO categories
Monitor supplier performance (on-time delivery, quality, responsiveness, and cost competitiveness); conduct regular reviews, scorecards, and corrective actions as needed.
Manage inventory levels for stock and non-stock items, including setting min/max levels, implementing Kanban or vendor-managed inventory programs, and reducing excess/obsolete stock
Support MRP/ERP systems for planning, requisition processing, and inventory tracking to align supply with operational requirements
Resolve invoice and payment issues in coordination with accounts payable
Honor Direct Wire's core values

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
3–7+ years of purchasing or procurement experience, with a focus on MRO categories within a manufacturing, industrial, or maintenance-driven environment.
Proven experience negotiating pricing, contracts, and supplier agreements to achieve cost savings and operational improvements.
Hands-on experience with inventory management, demand planning, and MRP/ERP-driven procurement processes.
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to manage priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Benefits

Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and families starting on day one
Company-funded Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
Optional Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
Coverage options for disability, accident, critical illness, hospitalization, and life insurance
Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
401(K) with a 5% company match after 90 days of employment
Pet insurance
Generous paid time off, wellness days for on-site roles, and paid holidays
