I am also responsible for Supplier Development and SMG compliance. I also have 56 suppliers I work with for average yearly spend of more than $6,000.000.00 of safety products.

Alorica: November 2012 to March 2013Customer Service:Worked directly with Customers in regard to their cellular service, based out the Fresno Call Center.

Weir Floway: February 2008 to November 2012MRO Buyer, Fastener Buyer, Motor Buyer, Estimator: As the MRO Buyer I was responsible for purchasing products and supplies for the operation of the entire facility. I also put together RFQ for equipment such as machining centers, safety wear for different sections of the facility, powder coating and even the building of an executive conference room. One of my other duties was to coordinate purchasing of offshore castings and machined parts from China. Because of the 90-to-120-day lead times there was a lot of planning and scheduling of PO’s in order to not run short of product. I was the Fastener Buyer responsible for purchasing fasteners, gaskets and O-rings required for production and as specified by Engineering. Each job required multiple quotes and basing the purchase on pricing and lead-times. Added to my responsibilities, in early 2009, was the new position of Estimator. My job was to review materials drawings and quote total cost for Aftermarket Sales. This included, but was not limited to steel, castings, additional fasteners, motors. The majority of the projects were for replacement or rebuilt pumps so in most cases we needed these done quickly so there was a lot of expediting from multiple suppliers.Later in 2009 I was also moved into the position of Motor Buyer where I was responsible for the quoting, purchase and delivery of motors required for production. In some cases, when testing was not required I would arrange for these motors to ship direct to jobs sites, coordinating with the pump shipment so product would arrive all at once.
