This position is ideal for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, and enjoys working in a role that combines administrative support, vendor communication, and data accuracy.
The Opportunity
This role exists to support the purchasing function by ensuring purchase orders are processed accurately, vendor information is maintained, and inventory needs are communicated efficiently. You'll work closely with operations, warehouse personnel, accounting, and outside vendors to help keep materials flowing and documentation organized.

• Support inventory tracking and communicate material shortages or ordering needs to the purchasing team
What We're Looking For
• 1+ years of purchasing, administrative, inventory, or office support experience
• Strong data entry skills with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Experience with Microsoft Excel and ERP or purchasing systems preferred
• Distribution, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, or industrial industry experience is a plus
Why This Role Stands Out
• Stable and established organization with a strong presence in the Bakersfield market
• Opportunity to gain hands-on experience within purchasing and supply chain operations
• Exposure to multiple departments and company leadership
• Team-oriented environment that values reliability, communication, and accuracy
