Procurement specialist

**Procurement Specialist** At Gables Engineering (a HEICO Company), we’ve been engineering the avionics systems pilots trust since 1946. We are looking for a Procurement Specialist to plan complex, multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs), analyze MRP requirements, and manage the procurement activities that keep our production lines supplied on time. This is a technical buying role: we’re looking for someone who analyzes purchasing requirements and makes informed decisions, not someone who simply processes system-generated requisitions. **About Gables Engineering** Founded in 1946, Gables Engineering is a leader in avionics controls and advanced cockpit solutions. Based in Coral Gables, FL, and a proud HEICO Company, we partner with airlines and OEMs worldwide to deliver tailored, next-generation avionics technology. **What You’ll Do** As a Procurement Specialist, you’ll be responsible for supplier management, RFQs, price negotiations, purchase order management, and delivery follow-up, while supporting cost reduction, lead-time improvements, and supply chain efficiency. You’ll work primarily in an office environment with regular time on the manufacturing floor, in a fast-paced setting with shifting priorities. **Primary Responsibilities** Planning and Procurement * Plan complex, multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs), review MRP demand and planning parameters, and align material requirements with production needs. * Select approved suppliers and manufacturer parts, request and evaluate quotations, and negotiate pricing and terms as needed. * Issue purchase orders and verify their accuracy before submitting them to suppliers. * Create new purchased-part records and maintain accurate part parameters. Order and Delivery Management * Monitor open purchase order reports to support on-time delivery and identify potential delays early. * Coordinate closely with Production Planners to ensure components are delivered on schedule. * Keep the Purchasing Manager informed of late deliveries, quality issues, and other critical supply chain concerns. Supplier Performance and Improvement * Develop and maintain strong supplier relationships that support competitive pricing, reliable deliveries, quality, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement. * Track rejections and return material authorizations (RMAs) **Cross-Functional Support** * Collaborate with Sales, Engineering, Accounts Payable, Quality, Manufacturing, and other departments as needed.
