RE: Corporate Buyer - Troy, MI

Dear Sir or Madam,

Currently I am employed as Site Manager for the Bruckner Supply Co. (WESCO Integrated Supply), an integrated supplier, at the Carrier Corp. plant in Tyler, TX. Due to the pending closure of the Carrier plant (Dec. ’13), I am seeking a Buyer/Sourcing/Procurement/Inventory

Mgt. position with a growing, vibrant company. While my family and I currently live in Tyler, we sold our home in 2012 to facilitate relocation if required. We are open to a wide geographic area within the US and are ready, willing and able to relocate. Troy, MI would be an ideal area for my family. We have family nearby in Ann Arbor.

For the past seven years I have been responsible for all of the MRO Sourcing, RFQ’s, Ordering and expediting for plant in excess of $5 million/year at their peak. This includes:

Managing the e-Crib system at this site (electronic ordering system)

Maintaining supply crib inventory levels

Sourcing, RFQ’s, processing Crib and Spot Buys Orders, both routine and emergency, as well as Projects and scheduled Plant Maintenance Shutdowns

Identifying, researching and presenting cost savings Ideas to Operations, Finance and Plant Management for implementation

Coordinating with Engineers on projects for new equipment and with Plant Maintenance staff in preparations for shutdowns, projects, etc.

I have a very strong work and customer service ethic and enjoy the challenge of successfully meeting the needs of my employer. I believe my extensive industrial sales and customer service background, building relationships with customers, vendors/suppliers and manufacturers, excellent communication and organizational skills and solid record of achievement make me an ideal candidate for a position with your company.
