What are the responsibilities and job description for the Purchasing Agent position at Wisenbaker Builder Services?
Keep Production Moving. Build Strong Supplier Relationships. Make an Impact Every Day.
If you've worked in purchasing for a cabinet manufacturer, you know the frustration.
Production gets delayed because materials arrive late. Vendors overpromise and underdeliver. Costs increase without warning. You're expected to solve problems quickly, but often don't have a seat at the table when decisions are made.
At Wisenbaker, purchasing isn't just placing orders.
It's a critical function that helps keep our manufacturing operation running efficiently, supports our production teams, and ensures our customers receive the quality products they expect.
We're looking for an experienced Purchasing Agent who understands cabinet manufacturing, knows how to build strong supplier relationships, and takes pride in finding the right materials at the right price without sacrificing quality.
Why This Role Matters
Every cabinet we produce starts with the materials you help source.
Your ability to manage suppliers, monitor inventory, negotiate costs, and stay ahead of purchasing needs directly impacts production schedules, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
You'll work closely with manufacturing, inventory, warehouse, and leadership teams to ensure our operation has what it needs to succeed.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys ownership, problem-solving, and making a measurable impact on the business.

- Track orders and ensure timely delivery of materials
- Analyze supplier performance, pricing, and market conditions
- Partner with production and operations teams to support manufacturing schedules
- Identify cost-saving opportunities and process improvements
- Maintain accurate purchasing records and documentation
What You Bring
- High school diploma or GED required
- 2 years of purchasing or procurement experience within a cabinet manufacturing environment
- Strong understanding of materials used in cabinet production
- Excellent negotiation and vendor management skills
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite
- Experience with Insight 2020 is a plus
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
- Positive attitude and strong sense of accountability
What You'll Gain
- A stable and growing company with a strong reputation in the industry
- The opportunity to make a direct impact on manufacturing operations
- Collaboration with experienced leaders and cross-functional teams
- A culture built on Attitude, Integrity, and Reliability
- A role where your expertise and decision-making matter
