I manage purchasing, inventory, vendors, and equipment support for industrial production operations.
What I'm looking for
At Arcosa Shoring Products/Cerda Industries, I issue purchase orders for raw materials, consumables, repairs, and shop equipment while coordinating with production, drafting, inventory teams, and third-party vendors.
I've also tested gas compression units and ANSI pumps, assembled and aligned compressor equipment, and supported manufacturing operations through troubleshooting, maintenance logs, inventory accuracy, and vendor cost and lead-time management.
