Purchasing Administrator

Decks & Docks is a leading marine construction supplier of waterfront building materials, serving contractors, homeowners, marinas, golf courses, and resorts across 25+ states. From decking and piling to seawall materials, railing systems, and dock hardware, we're proud to be the essential link between wholesale dealers and the backyards, docks, and waterfronts our customers are building.

We are seeking an organized and detail-oriented Purchasing Administrator to support our purchasing team's back-office operations in Epicor Bis Track. This is an entry-level role, ideal for someone early in their career who is comfortable with data entry, system administration, and following established processes. This role focuses on maintaining accurate item and vendor data in Bis Track, validating purchasing information, and monitoring the purchasing inbox for vendor communications.

• Create and maintain item codes, vendor codes, and related purchasing records in Epicor Bis Track, following established naming and coding standards.
• Validate purchasing data in Bis Track for accuracy, including pricing, item attributes, vendor details, and unit-of-measure setup.
• Monitor the shared purchasing inbox daily; route, respond to, or elevate vendor emails, order confirmations, and pricing updates.
• Identify and correct data discrepancies or errors in Bis Track (e.g., duplicate codes, mismatched pricing, incomplete vendor records).
• Support new item and new vendor setup by gathering required information and entering it into Bis Track.
• Assist with vendor price file updates and cost changes as communicated by vendors or the purchasing team.
• Prepare and format cost update and item import files in Excel for upload into Bis Track, ensuring data accuracy before import.
• Run routine data validation checks/reports in Bis Track and flag issues to the Purchasing Manager.
• Maintain organized documentation of coding standards, vendor files, and purchasing inbox correspondence.
• Respond to internal requests from store-level staff regarding item codes, vendor setup, or system data questions.
• Support other purchasing administrative tasks as assigned (this role does not handle store-level purchase order creation, which is managed at the store level).

• Comfortable learning new software systems; strong proficiency with Microsoft Excel required, including formulas, lookups (e.g., VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP), and formatting data for import into Bis Track. Experience with Epicor Bis Track or a similar ERP system is a plus but not required.
• Strong attention to detail, especially with data entry and code/record accuracy.
• Comfortable managing a busy shared email inbox and prioritizing messages appropriately.
• Strong knowledge of materials management, inventory control, supply chain management, and logistics operations.
• Demonstrated ability to use spreadsheets effectively for data analysis and reporting purposes.
• Experience supporting purchasing management systems and vendor communication strategies.
• Excellent negotiation skills with a focus on vendor relationship management and cost optimization.

• $50,000–$60,000 / year, commensurate with experience
• Health, dental, vision, life, and short-term disability insurance
• Paid time off and holidays
• A clear path for growth within Decks & Docks Co's corporate safety team
