3+ years of professional purchasing, procurement or buyer experience
Strong understanding of steel purchasing, supplier negotiations, pricing, lead times and material availability
Experience working within a manufacturing environment

Automotive experience is welcome, but absolutely not required
Post secondary education in Supply Chain, Business or a related field is preferred
SCMP or similar supply chain designation is an asset
Strong ERP and Microsoft Excel skills
⭐ What’s In It for You
