Purchasing Agent / Buyer (Bilingual English–Spanish)

Descripción de la vacante

We’re an electrical contracting company with operations in Florida, and we’re looking for an organized, detail-driven Buyer to join our team at our Caracas office. You’ll own our purchasing process from requisition to job site, working closely with our Project Managers, who provide the technical requirements. Your job is to turn those needs into fast, cost-effective purchases that keep our crews supplied and our projects on schedule.
