Junior Purchasing Agent

Privately-owned, family run business in the midst of dynamic growth seeking to hire a full time junior purchasing agent. As a company, we seek to cultivate an atmosphere in which employees are encouraged to develop their skills, to contribute meaningfully to our changing and evolving business, and to balance their work obligations in such a way that they can also wholeheartedly participate in their communities and invest in their families. Our primary concern is that every customer we interact with perceives our single-minded focus on exceeding their expectations as we meet their unique chemical needs. We seek to build a team in whom the values of trust, safety, speed and innovation are always our driving focus. The junior buying agent CORECHEM seeks to hire would be expected to embody these same values. This individual would be responsible for working as a part of our larger team to ensure that all the supply chain needs of the business are met.

--Compensation commensurate with industry and experience to include: hourly pay (PAY RANGE: $18-$20 per hour, dependent on experience), PTO, vacation, health insurance, and retirement benefits.

This position would be ideal for an individual with:

--Eagerness to bring excellence and excitement to their daily work

--Problem solving and creative skills to overcome difficulties and obstacles
