The Opportunity

Our client, a well-established and growing heavy industrial steel fabrication company in Edmonton, Alberta, is seeking an experienced Purchasing & Supply Chain Manager to lead its procurement, inventory management, and logistics operations.

This is an exciting opportunity for a detail-oriented, hands-on supply chain leader with strong steel procurement experience and a passion for improving systems, streamlining processes, and driving operational and logistical efficiencies. Reporting to senior leadership, you will lead a small team, build a collaborative and accountable culture, and ensure materials are sourced competitively and delivered on time to meet production demands.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead procurement of steel, pipe, fittings, valves, welding consumables, and industrial materials, ensuring competitive pricing, quality, and timely delivery.
  • Develop supplier relationships, negotiate favourable terms, source alternative vendors, and monitor market trends, tariffs, and cross-border opportunities.
  • Oversee inventory accuracy, stock levels, material traceability, and controls while minimizing waste and maximizing material utilization, including surplus steel and remnants.
  • Optimize purchasing, inventory, and receiving processes using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
  • Manage inbound logistics, freight, receiving, and yard operations to ensure timely material availability.
  • Lead and develop a small team, fostering accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate across departments to align material requirements, reduce costs, and improve profitability.

What You Bring

  • Post-secondary education in Supply Chain Management, Procurement, Logistics, Business, or a related field; university degree preferred.
  • SCMP designation or active progress toward completion preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive procurement or supply chain experience in steel fabrication, oil and gas, industrial manufacturing, or heavy industry.
  • Strong experience sourcing steel, pipe, structural materials, and related industrial products.
  • Proven leadership experience overseeing purchasing, inventory, or materials operations.
  • Demonstrated success improving supplier performance, inventory controls, and operational efficiency.
  • ERP proficiency, preferably Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and strong Excel skills.
  • Knowledge of material specifications, MTRs, certifications, and traceability requirements.
  • Experience with freight, cross-border procurement, customs, and tariffs.
  • Strong negotiation, analytical, and problem-solving skills with a proactive, hands-on leadership style.

What's In It for You?

  • Competitive salary of $130,000–$150,000, based on experience.
  • Four weeks of vacation to support a healthy work-life balance.
  • Comprehensive company-paid health benefits.
  • After one year of employment, employer RRSP contributions starting at 3%, increasing with tenure.
  • Discretionary annual bonus opportunities based on company performance.
  • Cell phone expense reimbursement.
  • Consistent weekday schedule, typically 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, with minimal overtime and no regular travel.
  • Supportive, collaborative leadership team that values initiative, accountability, and open, friendly communication.
  • Opportunity to take ownership of a key business function, implement meaningful improvements, and contribute to continued company growth.
  • Long-term career development potential, including opportunities for advancement into senior leadership.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
