Job description

Garibaldi Glass Industries Inc. is seeking a precise, analytical, and adaptable Purchasing Leader to oversee our procurement operations and lead a high-performing team in Burnaby, BC. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex challenges, values accuracy, and can confidently navigate a fast-paced and evolving environment.

Note : This description reflects the core responsibilities, qualifications, and conditions for the Purchasing Leader role. It excludes extraneous postings and site-wide notices.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and coach a team of Buyers and Logistics Professionals to meet performance goals and KPIs
  • Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans and vendor negotiations to optimize cost, quality and delivery
  • Manage procurement of glass and related materials, ensuring alignment with production schedules and budget targets
  • Monitor supplier performance and implement corrective actions as needed
  • Ensure compliance with Canadian procurement regulations, company policies, and ethical sourcing standards
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to resolve supply chain issues and improve purchasing processes
  • Utilize ERP and vendor management systems to manage orders, invoices, and inventory
  • Identify and mitigate risks to ensure successful project delivery
  • Champion continuous improvement initiatives using Lean principles (e.g., Kanban, Kaizen)

Qualifications

  • 5 to 7 years of experience as a Purchasing Manager or Senior Buyer in a manufacturing environment
  • Experience in the glass industry is an asset
  • Minimum 2 years of experience leading or managing a team
  • Bachelor’s Degree
  • Professional designations such as CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Professional), CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management), or SCMP (Supply Chain Management Professional) are preferred
  • Working knowledge of Canadian and U.S. customs regulations and cross-border shipping processes

  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and ERP systems
  • Advanced Excel Skills (Formulas, Pivot Tables, Macros)
  • Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Knowledge of Lean manufacturing principles
  • Working Conditions

    The Purchasing Leader will primarily work in a comfortable office environment with occasional exposure to dust, noise, and other mild environmental factors. The role involves moderate mental demands due to managing multiple priorities and meeting deadlines. While the majority of responsibilities are office-based, the Purchasing Leader must be comfortable entering and working within the production floor as needed. The manufacturing area is a safety-sensitive environment that includes mobile equipment and overhead cranes, requiring awareness of safety protocols and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when on the floor.

    Key Success Factors

  • Build and lead a high-performing purchasing team
  • Achieve cost savings through strategic procurement
  • Align purchasing goals with organizational objectives
  • Ensure compliance and mitigate supply chain risks
  • Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive base salary ranging from $80,000 to $95,000 annually
