About the Buyer Role at Robert Half

Robert Half is excited to partner with a well-known and reputable company in Las Vegas, Nevada to find a skilled Buyer for a long-term contract position. This pivotal procurement role supports critical production operations by managing supplier relationships, inventory levels, and material flow across multiple sites in the Las Vegas valley. If you thrive in dynamic environments, possess strong technical acumen, and excel at driving cost efficiencies, this opportunity allows you to collaborate with large engineering and production teams while ensuring seamless supply chain operations. The role demands travel across the valley due to operations on opposite sides, offering exposure to diverse procurement challenges in a fast-paced manufacturing setting. With excellent Excel skills and the ability to interpret engineering designs, bills of materials (BOM), and technical drawings, you'll play a key role in direct procurement and planning. Join Robert Half's network of top talent and contribute to a company renowned for innovation and reliability.

Why This Buyer Position Stands Out

In today's competitive job market for procurement professionals in Las Vegas, NV, this role offers stability through a long-term contract, hands-on technical involvement, and opportunities for process optimization. Ideal for experienced buyers seeking growth in supply chain management, you'll leverage MRP systems, conduct supplier negotiations, and resolve real-time issues to prevent production delays.

Key Responsibilities

As a Buyer, your day-to-day will focus on strategic procurement to support production excellence. Key duties include:

• Building and nurturing supplier relationships for reliable, high-quality material deliveries.
• Expertly negotiating contracts, pricing, and terms to achieve cost savings aligned with business objectives.
• Handling all aspects of purchase orders—from creation and processing to real-time adjustments based on production demands.
• Closely monitoring inventory to avoid stockouts while minimizing excess or obsolete stock.
• Partnering with engineering teams to review technical specs, BOMs, and drawings for precise component sourcing.
• Performing data analysis on historical trends to enhance demand forecasting and planning accuracy.
• Leading weekly supplier calls to troubleshoot issues, refine terms, and strengthen partnerships.
• Spearheading continuous improvement projects to cut costs and streamline inventory processes.
• Mastering MRP systems for efficient material coordination and purchase planning.
• Swiftly resolving shortages or quality issues through cross-departmental collaboration.

These responsibilities ensure the smooth operation of production lines, making you indispensable to the team's success.

Required Qualifications

To excel as a Buyer in this Las Vegas role, candidates must demonstrate:

• 3+ years in procurement, with direct procurement and planning experience.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for reporting, analysis, and forecasting.
• Technical savvy to interpret engineering designs, read drawings, and manage BOMs.
