Temp to Hire
Why You’ll Love This Job:
- A great fit if you have a mechanical mindset, an auto parts background, or experience in a fast-paced service environment – this team values hustle and product knowledge over a polished resume
- Real purchasing authority – you’ll have delegated buying power from day one, not just data entry
What You’ll Do:
- Maintain inventory levels and purchasing data in Tribute Software, including costs, list prices, and IMPM records
- Expedite purchase orders and handle daily purchasing as assigned by the Purchasing Manager
- Negotiate pricing and terms with vendors to secure the best possible products and services
- Process product non-conformances and manage supplier returns
- Track, analyze, and act on monthly inventory levels – identifying and working to reduce slow-moving, obsolete, and dead inventory
- Review and document inventory discrepancies with relevant managers and supervisors
- Maintain and adjust system replacement costs and list prices as needed
What We’re Looking For:
- Strong communication skills: written, verbal, and with vendors
- Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
- Basic familiarity with purchasing or supply chain concepts. You don't need to be an expert, but you should have a general sense of how buying, inventory, and vendor relationships work
- A blue-collar background or hands-on work history is a strong fit. Candidates who've worked in auto parts, the trades, manufacturing, or high-volume service environments like restaurants or bars tend to thrive here
- Comfortable taking direction, staying organized, and managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- One year of related education or training, or 3-6 months of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of both
