Job Overview

Step into a highly visible sourcing role where no two days are the same. The Sourcing Engineer will balance forward-looking supply chain improvement with hands-on support of the Sedalia manufacturing operation. Approximately half of the role will focus on strengthening the supply chain and supplier partnerships, while the other half will involve working closely with the materials team to address supplier escalations and help ensure the plant has the components needed to meet production and revenue commitments. The balance will shift as business priorities change, giving this individual exposure to a wide range of challenges and opportunities.

Working across Sedalia's diverse product lines and active global supply network, the Sourcing Engineer will turn complex data into practical business strategies, build productive supplier relationships, and help navigate issues ranging from delayed materials to broader supply disruptions and resourcing needs. This is not a transactional purchasing position-the individual will serve as a trusted problem-solver who connects suppliers, materials, operations, and other internal partners to keep critical work moving forward.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, thrives on solving new problems, and wants to see the direct impact of their work on both plant performance and long-term supply chain success. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to take ownership of meaningful initiatives within the first few months, expand their knowledge of Sedalia's products and operations, and grow into a fully integrated member of a collaborative, fast-moving team.

Responsibilities

• Maintain sourcing/savings project tracking and lead cross-functional reviews to drive projects to completion.
• Track sourcing activity, savings, and performance results to ensure accurate and timely reporting.

Supplier Sourcing & Commercial Negotiations

• Identify and develop new suppliers and improve the value delivered by existing suppliers.
• Lead RFP/RFQ activities in partnership with internal stakeholders.
• Negotiate supplier pricing, payment terms, lead times, inventory programs, and other commercial terms.
• Monitor purchase price variances and resolve discrepancies with suppliers and internal teams.

Supplier Development & Performance

• Partner with suppliers and internal teams to qualify new parts and support sourcing transitions.
• Address significant or systemic supplier performance issues involving quality, delivery, warranty, cost, or other concerns.
• Work with suppliers to improve overall performance and support sourcing objectives.

Market Intelligence & Special Projects

• Monitor commodity pricing, market trends, and domestic/international events that may affect supplier pricing or supply.
• Participate in special projects and perform additional responsibilities as assigned.

Requirements

• High School Diploma or GED
• 3+ years of progressive experience in sourcing, procurement, supply chain, or supplier management.
• 2+ years of experience negotiating directly with suppliers on pricing, cost increases, payment terms, lead times, inventory programs, or other commercial terms.
• 2+ years of experience analyzing sourcing, spend, pricing, PPV, or supplier data to identify savings opportunities and support business decisions.
• 2+ years of experience using Excel for data analysis, including pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, financial or logical functions, and multiple worksheets/workbooks.
• 1+ years of experience leading sourcing initiatives, such as RFQ/RFP activities, cost-reduction projects, supplier development, resourcing, or new supplier qualification.

Core Competencies

• Cost Optimization & Value Creation - Identifies and drives opportunities to reduce material costs and improve supplier value.

• Supplier Development & Performance Management - Builds supplier capability and addresses quality, delivery, warranty, and other performance issues.
