Director of Purchasing
We're looking for a seasoned procurement leader with deep roots in hydraulic components and heavy-industrial supply chains. This role is central to how we source, manage, and optimize the critical components that power our remanufacturing operations — and we need someone who knows hydraulics, not just purchasing.
About the Role
The Director of Purchasing will own category strategy and supplier relationships for hydraulic and fluid-power components used across heavy-duty industrial and mobile equipment applications. You'll work closely with Engineering and Operations to ensure we're sourcing the right components at the right cost, from suppliers we trust.
What You'll Own
Sourcing Strategy Develop and execute category strategies for hydraulic components — pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, hoses, manifolds, and hydraulic power units — aligned with our operational and quality standards.
Supplier Management Build and maintain strong relationships with OEM-tier and specialty hydraulic manufacturers. Lead negotiations that drive competitive pricing, reliable lead times, and supply continuity.
Cost & Risk Identify savings opportunities through supplier consolidation, alternative sourcing, and value engineering. Stay ahead of market shifts in pricing, materials, and technology.
Cross-Functional Partnership Collaborate with Engineering and Operations on specs, performance requirements, and component qualification. Make sure what we source performs in the field.
Process & Systems Leverage ERP tools to track supplier performance and category KPIs. Continuously improve how we qualify and manage high-precision hydraulic components.
