Procurement Specialist

Job Description: Procurement Specialist St. Louis, MO | Full-Time | Non-ExemptWHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENTMost procurement postings read like a checklist: process POs, chase vendors, update spreadsheets. This one isn't that. You'll be the person who decides how materials actually get where they need to be - negotiating with vendors, allocating stock against real project deadlines, and catching problems before they become someone else's emergency. We're less interested in whether you've used a specific ERP system before and more interested in how you think when something doesn't add up: do you dig in, or wait to be told what to do? What Makes This Opportunity Different: Real ownership from day one - you'll manage vendor relationships and purchasing decisions, not just process paperwork someone else decided on A steep, fast learning curve across fire/life safety, security, and AV systems - genuinely interesting products, not commodity parts Direct visibility into how your work affects project timelines and customer commitments - you'll see the impact of a good (or bad) sourcing call A small, family-owned company where you're not a cog - leadership knows your name and your work Room to grow into senior procurement, category management, or supply chain analytics based on where your strengths take youABOUT TECH ELECTRONICSTech Electronics is a St. Louis-based, employee-focused technology services company specializing in low-voltage life safety and communication systems - fire alarm, security, video surveillance, and AV - across the education, healthcare, construction, government, commercial, and worship sectors. We've been doing this for nearly 60 years, with nine offices across the Midwest and Colorado, and we still run like a family business because we are one.
