1 month ago

Cerritos California, United States Olea Kiosks Inc. Full time
Olea Kiosks is a well-established and growing kiosk manufacturer, located in Cerritos, California.

With a 40+ year history as an industry leader, we are focused on fostering and building strong relationships with our customers, vendors, and most importantly, our employees.

We value each and every one of our talented team members, and hope to inspire them to be their best selves, both at work and personally.

We believe in teaching and developing our employees, and preparing the next generation of company leaders.

We are currently looking to fill a Buyer position within our purchasing team. The ideal candidate will have a strong work ethic, and desire to be a part of an award-winning team. In this role, you'll be encouraged to learn not only Olea's internal processes, but also those of our vendors.

You'll proactively communicate with vendors to ensure materials and parts are available in time to meet production schedules, expedite orders to accommodate schedule changes, and provide real-time updates to the manufacturing team to keep everyone in the know.

As you continue to build relationships with your internal customers and outside vendors, you will collaborate with your partners to achieve win-win solutions.


As a Buyer, you will be actively engaged with our outside processing vendors, coordinating services that include powder coat, silkscreen, electroplating, and machining, to bring finished parts to the assembly line in time to fulfill our commitments to our customers.

With experience, you will gain a deep understanding of the processes and capabilities of each outside process vendor, and will be equipped to work with the vendor to best serve the interests on both sides of the relationship.


The essential duties of the position include:
Request quotes and issue POs for subcontracting/outside processing, raw materials, hardware, shop and office supplies, and other purchases base on production requirements and due dates

Track and expedite open orders to ensure on-time delivery in support of our commitments to customers

Coordinate outbound and inbound deliveries of outside processing parts, raw materials, and purchased components

Verify receipt of orders and work with vendors to resolve shortages or discrepancies against the original PO

Collaborate with vendors to facilitate rework requests, returns, and exchanges in a timely manner

Build and maintain positive working partnerships with vendors

Update vendor, product, and subcontracting information in the ERP system

Research and qualify new vendors for outside processing services

Other duties as assigned

This is a full-time, onsite position in Cerritos, California. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Starting pay range is $23 to $28 per hour.

Requirements

Ideal candidates will meet the following minimum requirements:
Minimum one to three years' related purchasing and planning experience; experience in a manufacturing environment preferred

Read, write, and speak fluent English; bilingual English/Spanish helpful, but not required

Highly organized and able to prioritize work according to production schedules and vendor lead times

Experience working with an ERP system

Intermediate to advanced knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel

Self-disciplined and able to work independently, with minimal supervision

Able to think proactively
