New Job Buyer Ii In California

The County of Transportation & Land Management Agency (TLMA) has an opportunity for a Buyer II in Riverside. The incumbent will purchase or negotiate to purchase materials, supplies, equipment, and services for use by County agencies, departments, districts, and affiliates; and perform other related duties as required.



The Buyer II is the advanced journey level and allocated class in the Buyer series. Incumbents report to a first level supervisory or management class. Positions in this class are allocated to County departments and agencies that can demonstrate a need for contract negotiations, purchase forecasting, cost/value analyses, and a need to perform purchasing of a broad product line of commodities and services, including the most complex technical equipment. All Buyer position allocations and incumbent assignments must be approved in advance by Purchasing Department management.
The Buyer II class is assigned greater independence in the day-to-day performance of complex purchasing assignments. Incumbents possess in-depth purchasing and product knowledge needed to conduct complex cost/value analyses of a full range of commodities and services, including the most complex, specialized, and technical equipment. Incumbents may serve in a lead capacity over clerical and support personnel, which would typically require monitoring work performance and advising, as necessary. Additional factors that may be included when allocating positions to this level include the complexity of the order process, value of goods and services purchased, and types of commodities being purchased.




Competitive candidates will possess advanced Microsoft Excel skills, extensive experience with a Purchasing Department or Agency which includes responsibility for mid-value ($10,000 - $25,000) procurements and individual assignment of a specific commodity or group of commodities and previous experience with electronic procurement.
