When it rains, it pours! We're addition to the IT position search (some good candidates BTW, thanks very much), we're now also looking for somebody to slide in behind the purchaser desk. Here's what the job entails:
- Watch stock levels (physical and in Quickbooks, because bits can't always be trusted over bytes), and reorder necessary inventory
- Receive shipments
- Help watch for new product introductions by new & existing suppliers
- Order R&D stuff requested by the lab
- Generate sales reports
- Help generate Build-of-Material (BOM) lists for new products
- Develop relationships with supplier reps (some domestic, some very international!)
Drop us a line, or give us a call (403 232 6268). The position is only open locally, so unless you've built a really good telepresence robot, you have to live in the Calgary area to apply. Really.
