    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

    • Projects stay on schedule
    • Costs are controlled
    • Compliance risks are minimized
    • Suppliers perform at a high level
    • Internal customers receive timely, accurate support

    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.

    Qualifications

    Required:

    • High School diploma or equivalent
    • Five (5) years minimum experience in material management , procurement, or related field OR eight (8) years minimum experience in the day-to-day operations, maintenance, warehousing, or planning areas of an electric utility or large industrial type facility
    • Knowledge of warehouse functions
    • Knowledge of the procurement practices and policies
    • Knowledge of materials, products and services utilized in the electric utility business
    • Must be available for overtime as needed
    • Proficiency using Microsoft Windows operating systems including EXCEL and Word
    • Skill in preparing and analyzing complex technical specifications and bids
    • Skill in both verbal and written communication
    • Skill in establishing and maintain effective working relationships

    Desired:

    • Bachelor's or Associate's degree in a Business or Materials Management related field
    • Certification as a Certified Purchasing Supply Manager (CPSM)
    • Proficiency using Asset Suite software
