Coordinate with suppliers to resolve issues related to delivery delays, damaged goods, or quantity discrepancies; communicate impacts to the production team in a timely manner.
Communicate effectively with internal stakeholders as well as external partners, including suppliers, shipping agents, and courier services.
Procure materials using multiple purchasing methods, including stock orders, subcontracting, and critical material sourcing.
Support engineering and project management teams by obtaining vendor quotes for new products during the quoting process.
Identify, evaluate, and establish relationships with alternate or backup suppliers.
Participate in production meetings as required to support operational alignment.
Contribute to process improvement initiatives within the purchasing and supply chain functions.
Apply strong problem-solving skills to address purchasing and supply challenges.
Perform additional duties as assigned by supervisor or management.
