The Purchasing Coordinator serves as the primary Company contact for suppliers in performing the day‐to‐day activities necessary to procure commodities used by Company. All activities must adhere to Corporate Purchasing Policies and Division Purchasing Procedures.

This can result in production risks, including but not limited to line shutdown, inadequate inventory, lost sales and project delays. The Coordinator must possess analytical and problem‐solving skills and be able to make decisions quickly using sound judgment. The Coordinator demonstrates the ability to prioritize to enhance productivity and manage workload with minimal supervision. The Coordinator must understand inventory control and basic accounting principles. Because coordination is required among internal and external parties and often involves information of a confidential nature, excellent oral and written communication skills are required.

Coordinate necessary actions to ensure material delivery, including expediting delivery from alternate sources. Verify that purchase order releases and requisitions reflect the proper price, based on current contracts. Incorrect pricing leads to late invoice payment, which affects supplier relationships, company's credit standing, and potentially future deliveries of materials. When applicable, possess knowledge of external guidelines and various governmental agencies and processes. Utilize systems and resources to support clearance, delivery and compliance of international and domestic orders. Partner with suppliers to alleviate chronic delivery or quality problems.
