• Crafting and processing purchase orders and change orders with the precision of a seasoned online shopper.

• Managing vendors, keeping relationships strong, and making sure the preferred ones don’t ghost us.

• A basic understanding of industrial automation components—because we work with some pretty cool stuff!
