Lead Purchaser & Operations Support

Corona Millworks is seeking an experienced Lead Purchasing & Operations Coordinator to oversee company-wide purchasing while providing critical operational and sales-order support to our manufacturing organization.

This position will have primary responsibility for purchasing decorative panels, veneer, MDF, particleboard/PB core, plywood, other engineered wood substrates, edge tape, and related cabinet manufacturing materials, as well as lumber, factory supplies, maintenance supplies, office supplies, and other operational materials.

The ideal candidate will have strong industry knowledge of decorative panels, veneer products, panel construction, MDF, particleboard/PB core, plywood, and other engineered wood substrates, combined with hands-on purchasing, inventory management, vendor management, and analytical experience.

This position requires someone who understands how material specifications, construction, quality, availability, pricing, lead times, inventory levels, and manufacturing capabilities impact customer orders and production.

In addition to purchasing, this position will use ARDIS to optimize sales orders, improve sheet utilization, generate and print cut lists, and manage order dates. The individual will also develop a comprehensive understanding of Corona Millworks' products and manufacturing capabilities so they can review customer sales orders and identify orders, specifications, or configurations that may not be manufacturable before they reach production.

The Lead Purchasing & Operations Coordinator will work closely with Customer Service, Production, Operations, Sales, Accounting, vendors, and Management to ensure materials are available, customer orders are accurate and manufacturable, production dates are realistic, and purchasing and operational decisions are based on accurate information.
