Who We Are Looking For You are a procurement professional who is comfortable working at the intersection of engineering, sourcing, and project execution. You know how to turn drawings, bills of materials, and technical requirements into smart purchasing decisions, and you enjoy partnering with engineers, suppliers, and internal teams to keep projects moving. This role is a strong fit for someone who can balance cost, lead time, and technical specifications without losing sight of quality or project goals. You will thrive here if you are organized, collaborative, and confident navigating changing priorities in an engineering or manufacturing environment.

What You Bring To The Team • 8+ years of experience in procurement, sourcing, or supply chain within an engineering or manufacturing environment. • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, engineering specifications, procurement documents, and supplier correspondence. • Experience using ERP systems to manage procurement activities. • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel, Outlook, and Word. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineers, suppliers, and cross-functional stakeholders. • Strong organizational skills, sound judgment, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a project-driven environment. • Ability to evaluate cost, lead time, and technical requirements to make informed sourcing decisions and resolve issues. • Fluency in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding English. • Ability to travel domestically approximately 10%–20% as needed for supplier engagement, trade shows, project support, or site visits. • Ability to occasionally lift and/or move objects up to 25 pounds. Preferred: • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related technical field. • Experience supporting engineering development, prototyping, or full project lifecycle phases. • Familiarity with basic algebraic and statistical concepts to support cost modeling and sourcing analysis.
