Full Time Clerical El Paso, TX, US

4 days ago Requisition

The Buyer I is an entry-level purchasing support role and a great starting point for someone looking to build a career in procurement and supply chain. No prior purchasing experience is required — we will teach you everything you need to know about how we buy and manage products. You will work closely with our experienced Buyers and Purchasing Manager to learn our products, vendors, and systems while handling day-to-day purchasing tasks.

Bilingual candidates (English/Spanish) are strongly preferred, as many of our vendor and supplier contacts communicate in Spanish.

As a Buyer I, your day-to-day work will include:

• Entering and tracking purchase orders in our Agility ERP system — we will train you on this software from day one.
• Comparing incoming deliveries against purchase orders to make sure we received what we ordered; flagging and helping resolve any differences.
• Maintaining organized, up-to-date purchasing records so the team can find information quickly.
• Helping experienced Buyers research vendors and gather product pricing and availability information.
• Communicating with vendors and suppliers by phone and email to get order updates, confirm delivery dates, and follow up on open items — in both English and Spanish when needed.
• Learning the names and specifications of the doors, millwork, frames, hardware, and other building products we buy (we will guide you through this step by step).
• Supporting the purchasing team with administrative tasks, filing, and data entry to keep operations running smoothly.
• Assisting with small, quick-turnaround purchasing projects as directed.
• Maintaining consistent, dependable attendance; this role supports a manufacturing environment where timing matters.
• Taking on other tasks as assigned as you grow in the role.

We understand this is an entry-level position and we invest in training our Buyer I team members. Over time, you will learn:

• How to use Agility, our ERP system, to manage purchase orders and inventory records.
• Door and millwork product knowledge — species, sizes, core types, frame and jamb configurations, hardware, and industry terminology.
• How to evaluate vendor quotes and assist with price negotiations.
• Purchasing policies, compliance requirements, and inventory control processes.
• How our manufacturing operation works and how purchasing supports it.

• High school diploma or GED required.
• One year of experience in an administrative, clerical, customer service, or similar support role preferred — but we will consider any combination of education and relevant experience.
• No prior purchasing or product knowledge required; a willingness to learn is what matters most.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish is strongly preferred.

• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Outlook (email) and Excel — comfort with spreadsheets and email is important.
• Ability to communicate clearly and professionally in writing and by phone, in English and ideally in Spanish.
• Organized and detail-oriented — you notice when something doesn’t match and you follow up.
• Reliable and dependable — the team counts on you to show up and follow through.
• Comfortable juggling multiple tasks and asking for help when priorities are unclear.
• Positive attitude and genuine interest in learning a new industry.
• Ability to read and interpret basic documents such as purchase orders, packing slips, and procedure instructions in English.
• Ability to work the schedule as assigned.
