Job Description

TRG Manufacturing Search Division is seeking a motivated Buyer/Sourcing Specialist to join a global leader in high-speed production systems and tooling. This is a chance to step into a supply chain role with real impact, backed by an organization known for stability, innovation, and long-term growth.

You’ll manage supplier selection, contracts, and relationships while keeping ERP records accurate and efficient. Expect to analyze spending for savings, resolve delivery challenges, and influence sourcing strategy tied directly to production success. A strong grasp of technical drawings (GD&T) and knowledge of machining or metal fabrication will give you an edge, with backgrounds in CNC, manufacturing engineering, or value engineering highly valued—even if you’re newer to sourcing.

In this role, you’ll do more than manage suppliers—you’ll influence how a global manufacturer builds partnerships and drives performance. With clear opportunities for advancement, exposure to international markets, and a culture that invests in its people, this position offers the platform to expand your skills and accelerate your career in supply chain. Apply today and take the next step in your career.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in business or a technical field, with 3+ years of purchasing or sourcing experience in a manufacturing environment.
  • Background in machining, CNC programming, manufacturing engineering, or value engineering is highly valued; experience sourcing machined parts is a strong plus.
  • Comfortable using Microsoft Office with working knowledge of ERP systems.
  • Professional certifications such as APICS or SCM are considered a plus.
