Procurement Specialist

At Techo-Bloc, we’re entrepreneurial innovators who take pride in rolling up our sleeves and making things happen. With 9 state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, 15 distribution centers, and more than 900 employees across 20+ locations throughout North America, we continue to grow through innovation, operational excellence, and a relentless commitment to delivering exceptional products and experiences. We move quickly, think big, and empower our people to make an impact—all within a collaborative, inclusive, and performance-driven environment.

Our procurement function sits at the heart of that growth. From globally sourced raw materials and capital equipment to logistics and resale products, procurement plays a critical role in helping us stay competitive, protect our margins, and keep our operations running at full speed.

We are looking for a Procurement Specialist to help keep our operations running smoothly by ensuring the right materials, products, and supplier support are available when needed. This role connects purchasing, operations, inventory management, suppliers, and internal teams to prevent shortages, manage priorities, and support day-to-day execution.

In a typical day, you may review purchase needs and inventory levels in the ERP system, place or adjust purchase orders, follow up with suppliers on confirmations and delivery dates, monitor stock availability, and help resolve issues that could impact production, yard operations, customer orders, or product launches. You will work closely with Operations, Logistics, Customer Service, Finance, the Yard, and vendors to communicate delays, address shortages, clarify priorities, and make sure materials arrive where they are needed, when they are needed.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys staying organized, following up, solving problems, and working with many departments to keep things moving. The ideal candidate has experience in purchasing, procurement, supply chain, inventory management, manufacturing, distribution, or another operational environment, along with strong attention to detail, good communication skills, and comfort working with ERP systems and Excel.
