The overall role of a purchaser is to buy products and services for the company. This will include identifying and researching prospective suppliers, preparing requests for proposals for suppliers, reviewing proposals and negotiating prices and terms. You will receive requests for specific products or services needed within the company and then get price quotes for those products or services. You will prepare and place purchase orders with suppliers and track orders to ensure that they are received.

Receiving products and services on time is vitally important for the company as we rely on suppliers to deliver parts so we can build our own products.

You will also resolve issues when purchase orders are received with damaged items, inferior products or other problems.

You can be expected to help reduce costs for the company by negotiating better prices with suppliers.
