Senior Buyer - Omaha - Omaha Public Power
Description
Why Join Us?
At OPPD, every role supports something bigger - delivering reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy to the communities we serve. Behind every successful project, field crew, and infrastructure upgrade is a strong supply chain ensuring the right materials arrive at the right time.
As a Senior Buyer, you won't just process purchase orders - you will directly enable operational excellence across the District.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a seasoned procurement professional who understands that purchasing is more than transactions - it's strategy, risk management, and partnership.
In this role, you will take ownership of complex material purchases that support critical operations across the utility. You'll ensure that materials meet quality standards, comply with commercial and regulatory requirements, and are delivered on schedule - all while driving overall best value for the District.
This is a high-impact role at the center of supply chain execution.
What You'll Accomplish
Drive Operational Readiness - Ensure crews and departments have the materials they need to keep projects moving and infrastructure operating safely and efficiently.
Own the Procurement Process - Manage purchase requisitions and purchase orders from start to finish, incorporating appropriate commercial terms and quality requirements.
Protect Value & Mitigate Risk - Ensure compliance with state and federal regulations and corporate policy while delivering best total cost/value of ownership.
Solve Problems in Real Time - Investigate discrepancies, resolve non-conformances, and communicate clearly to keep operations on track.
Strengthen Supplier Partnerships - Build and maintain professional relationships with suppliers while negotiating and expediting orders as needed.
Optimize Inventory Strategy - Evaluate and adjust min/max levels and monitor past-due purchase orders to support business needs.
Support Strategic Sourcing - Contribute to broader Supply Chain Management strategies and improve sourcing practices.
Why This Role Matters
Your decisions will have a direct and measurable impact on operational efficiency across OPPD.
What Success Looks Like
You thrive in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment. You balance urgency with accuracy. You communicate clearly. You think proactively about supply risks. You bring strong knowledge of
procurement practices - and ideally, experience within utility or large industrial environments. You understand that purchasing is not administrative - it is mission-critical.
