Travis Teeples

I am a Purchasing Agent at Cementation USA Inc., procuring materials, ground support, tools, and supplies and assisting in procurement of heavy equipment from Caterpillar, Epiroc, and Normet to support mining crews.

I have supervised crews ranging from 2 to 25 people and managed large reclamation projects, including two wind-farm reclamation efforts of over 200 acres and multiple highway and reseeding projects. I also supervised an eight-person shipping crew at Cerro Copper, organizing order picking, inventory tracking, and safety compliance.

My day-to-day work includes vendor relationship management with suppliers such as Wheeler, Crescent Electric, F&H Mine Supply, Wagner Rents, and Grainger, forecasting and materials planning, tracking purchase orders through invoicing and payment, and using ERP tools like JD Edwards to control costs and operations.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Business Management), a CDL Class A, and am fluent in Portuguese. I am seeking a long-term role in management, procurement, inventory control, vendor relations, supply chain, or warehousing where I can reduce costs and increase productivity while supporting a collaborative team environment.
