Technical Buyer in Beaverton, Michigan at Brown Machine Group

Technical Buyer | Manufacturing | Capital Equipment

If you are the kind of purchasing professional who can read a blueprint, challenge a quote, solve a supplier issue, and keep production moving, this role is built for you. We are looking for a Technical Buyer who understands that great purchasing is not just about placing orders—it is about protecting quality, controlling cost, supporting delivery commitments, and building supplier partnerships that make manufacturing stronger.

This is a hands-on, high-impact purchasing position at the center of capital equipment manufacturing. You will work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Inventory, and Finance to source custom and standard components, coordinate outsourced services, resolve technical questions, and help keep complex projects on track. The right person will have the opportunity to influence supplier performance, improve lead times, support cost reduction, and make daily decisions that directly impact production success.

You are curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in the gray areas where engineering requirements, supplier capabilities, production timing, and business priorities all meet. You know how to ask good questions, follow through, communicate early, and take ownership when something needs to be solved. You enjoy working with people across departments and suppliers outside the organization, and you take pride in helping manufacturing teams deliver high-quality equipment on time.

This role operates in a manufacturing environment and requires regular collaboration with office, production, engineering, quality, inventory, and finance teams. The position may include supplier visits and occasional travel, including international travel as business needs require.

If you are ready to bring technical purchasing expertise to a team that values quality, accountability, supplier partnership, and manufacturing excellence, we would like to hear from you.
