Job summary

Pettibone is seeking a Procurement Analyst to join the Aftermarket team in Baraga, Michigan. You will analyze aftermarket demand, review sales history and inventory levels, evaluate supplier options, and determine what parts Pettibone should stock and where to source them at the best cost.

This full-time role offers a Monday–Friday schedule, competitive salary ($55,000–$75,000) based on experience, comprehensive medical and retirement benefits, and a supportive, team-oriented work environment.

Qualifications

1+ years of experience in a supply chain or purchasing position.
High school diploma required; a degree in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, or a related field is preferred.
Experience with planning, scheduling, inventory control, or Lean Manufacturing helpful.
Working knowledge of ERP systems, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Teams.
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
Ability to travel occasionally, including overnight travel, as needed.

Responsibilities

Analyze aftermarket demand. Review sales history, usage trends, inventory activity, lead times, and other data to determine which service and replacement parts Pettibone should stock.
Plan inventory. Help establish and maintain appropriate stocking levels so commonly needed parts are available without carrying unnecessary inventory.
Research older and difficult-to-source parts. Investigate legacy, slow-moving, obsolete, and hard-to-find items and determine the best purchasing approach.
Find alternate sources. Research new suppliers and replacement sourcing options when an existing supplier, part, or purchasing channel is no longer practical.
Request and evaluate quotes. Prepare RFQs, compare supplier pricing, availability, lead times, minimum quantities, and other purchasing considerations.
Place and manage purchase orders. Review system requirements and issue purchase orders accurately and on time.
Work with suppliers. Build supplier relationships while addressing pricing, availability, shortages, delivery concerns, and other issues.
Monitor inventory performance. Look for opportunities to improve availability, inventory turns, purchasing decisions, and overall aftermarket service levels.
Control costs. Negotiate pricing, evaluate purchase price differences, and look for opportunities to reduce material and freight costs.
Solve problems. Research part history, supplier capabilities, purchasing records, and available alternatives when straightforward answers aren’t available.
Work across teams. Partner with Aftermarket, Engineering, Inventory, Operations, and other Pettibone teams to keep service parts moving to the customers who need them.
