Purchaser Jobs in North Carolina

A Purchaser in the logistics industry is essentially responsible for buying the best quality equipment, goods, and services at the most competitive prices. They conduct research, evaluate suppliers, negotiate contracts, and ensure that approved purchases are cost-efficient and of high quality. This role requires a deep understanding of supply chain management and strategic sourcing. Moreover, they are also expected to manage inventory, maintain relationships with suppliers, and evaluate bids and proposals.
