What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own procurement and logistics execution—driving vendor selection, purchase orders, and cost savings—while collaborating across teams, improving processes, and using tools like WMS/ERP to deliver on-time results.

I’m an experienced procurement and logistics professional focused on supplier management, purchase order systems, and negotiation to secure favorable vendor terms. I use inventory control and cost-saving strategies, and I’m comfortable working with warehouse and enterprise tools like WMS, SAP, TMS, SM3, and ERP.

In my current role as a Procurement Assistant at First Call Construction, I spearhead procurement activities to ensure timely delivery of materials and services. I maintain accurate records of supplier contracts and purchase orders for compliance, streamline vendor selection to reduce lead times, and conduct market research to identify suppliers and pricing trends.

Previously, as a Buyer at Mckinnon Metals, I built long-term supplier relationships and improved purchasing outcomes through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and effective negotiations. I also served as a Logistics and Dispatch Coordinator managing over 100 drivers across multiple dispatch boards and monitoring route adherence to maximize utilization; earlier, I worked as a Manager remotely, leading cross-functional teams, implementing process improvements, and mentoring junior staff.
