Negotiate log purchases, timber contracts, and long-term supplier agreements.

Travel regularly throughout procurement regions to inspect timber, suppliers, log yards, and purchasing opportunities.

Coordinate procurement activities with production planning to maintain optimal inventory levels while controlling procurement costs.

Maintain accurate purchasing records, pricing analyses, and market reports.

Promote responsible sourcing practices and ensure compliance with applicable forestry regulations and company policies.

Desired Qualifications
