What I'm looking for
I am a procurement specialist with over 2 years' experience in the aerospace industry, focused on indirect and direct purchasing of high-spec components such as inserts, rivets, bushings, springs, and specialty hardware.
At Incora (DBA Wesco Aircraft) I manage procurement from U.S. and international suppliers for delivery to U.S.-based warehouses, using JD Edwards 9.0 (Oracle) for purchase order processing, supplier communication, and internal reporting.
I coordinate closely with Quality, Finance, and Logistics to ensure on-time, compliant deliveries and maintain accurate supplier data and pricing in the ERP. I was a consistent top-performer across North American and European buyer teams.
