Description

The Riverside County Fire Department seeks to fill a Buyer I vacancy to support their office located in Perris.

The Buyer I purchases or negotiates to purchase materials, supplies, equipment, and services for use by County agencies, departments, districts, and affiliates; and performs other related duties as required.

Competitive applicants will possess previous purchasing experience within a fire department/agency; experience reviewing, interpreting, preparing and analyzing formal and informal purchase bids, invoices, vendor documentation, and complex purchasing reports; and experience utilizing Oracle PeopleSoft Financials Production system.

The Buyer I is the journey level and allocated class in the Buyer series.

Incumbents report to a first level supervisory or management class and, within established procedure and policy, are given a variety of assignments to perform independently.

Positions in this class are allocated to departments that can demonstrate a need for on-site purchasing expertise in the areas of development and maintenance of vendor product information, review/renewal of blanket purchase orders, and the need to perform purchasing of a less complex product line designed to meet the needs of an individual department.

The Buyer I is distinguished from the advanced journey level class of Buyer II by the latter's assignment for complex value analysis, purchase forecasting, and negotiation of major contracts involving the purchasing of the full range product line of commodities and services.

Buyer II's may serve in a lead capacity over support personnel.

All Buyer position allocations and incumbent assignments must be approved in advance by Purchasing Department management. Advancement to the next level is obtained by competitive selection through an open recruitment.
