- Forecast purchasing requirements in collaboration with operations and management to support sales, construction, and maintenance needs
- Monitor inventory levels across locations, ensuring accuracy through cycle counts, audits, and system controls
- Identify cost‑reduction opportunities and recommend procurement and inventory process improvements
- Enter, track, and reconcile purchase orders within the ERP / inventory management system
- Maintain accurate supplier records, pricing agreements, and purchasing documentation

- High level of computer literacy, with comfort spending extended time working in systems and databases
- Hands‑on experience using ERP and inventory management systems to manage purchasing and stock levels
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to bring structure and accountability to processes
- Confident, professional communicator with proven ability to negotiate and manage supplier relationships
