Support onboarding and training of Purchasing Agents while reinforcing purchasing standards and department procedures.
Assist with supplier escalations, purchase order corrections, invoice discrepancies, and receiving issues.
Promote collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement across the Purchasing team.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with Supply Chain, Warehouse, Production, Engineering, Project Management, Quality, Accounting, and Operations to support material availability.
Coordinate supplier non-conformance activities and corrective actions with Quality and suppliers.
Support Purchasing Supervisor initiatives related to Kanban replenishment, material shortages, and procurement priorities.
Communicate supplier risks, delivery concerns, and recommended recovery plans to leadership.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

Monitor open purchase orders, overdue deliveries, supplier commitments, and procurement metrics.
Support purchase price variance (PPV) reviews and supplier cost analysis.
Maintain accurate purchasing records, supplier documentation, and ERP data integrity.
Recommend process improvements that strengthen supplier performance, purchasing efficiency, and operational visibility.

What You Bring

High School Diploma or GED required; Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Operations, Procurement, or related field preferred.
Minimum 5 years of purchasing, procurement, sourcing, buyer, or supply chain experience within a manufacturing environment.
Experience using ERP systems such as Global Shop Solutions (GSS), SAP, Epicor, Oracle, Infor, or similar platforms.
Strong understanding of purchase order management, supplier communication, expediting, inventory support, and procurement processes.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including reporting, pivot tables, lookups, and procurement analysis.
Excellent communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
Experience mentoring, training, or supporting Purchasing Agents or junior procurement personnel.

Preferred Qualifications

Certified Purchasing Professional (CPP), Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM), Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP), or APICS CPIM certification.
Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt or Green Belt certification.
Experience in electrical equipment, switchgear, industrial manufacturing, or engineer-to-order (ETO) environments.
Experience supporting supplier performance improvement, procurement analytics, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus.

Why Join EPD?
