At W.W. Grainger we stock a wide variety of items through our catalog. The things I handle as a Sourcing Specialist are all of the things that are not included in our catalog. The customer or Account Manager supply us with information such as Brand, MFG Part Number and/or Specs and I take that information and search through our vast collection of suppliers.
