Buyer II - SDCA - San Diego, CA

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: use

h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job description. First, there is a header: "Job Description ATTENTION MILITARY AFFILIATED JOB SEEKERS - Our organization works with partner companies to source qualified talent for their open roles. The following position is available to Veterans, Transitioning Military, National Guard and Reserve Members, Military Spouses, Wounded Warriors, and their Caregivers. If you have the required skill set, education requirements, and experience, please click the submit button and follow the next steps. Unless specifically stated otherwise, this role is "On-Site" REPORTS TO: Manager Operational Contracts SUPERVISES: N/A General Purpose And Scope ..." We need to remove boilerplate like "ATTENTION MILITARY AFFILIATED JOB SEEKERS..." and "If you have the required skill set..." and "Unless specifically stated otherwise, this role is 'On-Site'"? Actually "On-Site" is schedule info. That could go into Schedule section. But we need to see if schedule is specified: "Unless specifically stated otherwise, this role is 'On-Site'". That's schedule info: On-Site. So we can include a Schedule section with "On-Site". Also "REPORTS TO: Manager Operational Contracts" and "SUPERVISES: N/A" are metadata; we can fold into a short

maybe. We need to preserve substantive info: purpose, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. We need sections: maybe About the role (General Purpose and Scope), Responsibilities (Authorities/Responsibilities), Qualifications (Minimum Education Required, Additional Qualifications/Responsibilities), Skills (maybe list of skills), Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. So we omit Benefits, Pay. We need to avoid sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn responsibilities into list items. Also qualifications maybe list. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from responsibilities list, qualifications list, etc. We need to be careful not to repeat job title as heading. The job title is likely "Buyer" (from Job Code Buyer). We should not put that as heading. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. First, "General Purpose And Scope" paragraph: "Assure continuous availability of supplied components to meet future demand for globally used parts. Ensures plant needs and requirements are met while maintaining a high level of customer service. Performs the day to day responsibility for a buying desk in a specific commodity group within the Purchasing Department. Transactions at this level range from routine to complex, may involve moderately high dollar values and moderate levels of risk with heavy volume, and moderately complex commodities." That's prose; we can put in

  under About the role. Next, "Authorities/Responsibilities" is a big list of duties. We'll turn each sentence into

• . Need to preserve all details. Let's list them: - Performs quoting, negotiating and issuing purchase orders $15M+ in value, in a timely manner, for raw materials, parts, subassemblies, finished goods, MRO materials, equipment, tooling, supplies and/or services from suppliers via purchase requisitions or MRP messages. - Follows up with requestors and end users regarding purchase order due dates and status when inquiries are made. - Follows traffic and logistics guidelines and minimizes the use of expedited shipping services where/when possible. - Follows all supply chain policies, procedures, guidelines and instructions including those regarding the procurement of materials and particularly the ability to keep confidential information regarding all purchasing or commodity strategies confidential (and in some cases, within the supply chain function exclusively). - Runs and maintains the buying desk’s purchase requisition or MRP open order, expedite, de-expedite, and past due reports and ensures MRP/IFS system is updated accordingly. - Maintains on time deliverables i.e... milestones and SDRL’s - Additional order management i.e. ingot rate; two tier supplier setup - Works in cooperation with material planning, production planning and logistics to reduce part inventory, obsolete and slow moving materials and handle schedule changes. - Strives to increase understanding of the services, material and manufacturing processes associated with the assigned buying desk. - Responsible for supporting related departments with the resolution of supplier invoice discrepancies and non-conforming material, requisition issues etc. - Represents the supplier inside Austal. - Maintains close communication with supplier account and customer service personnel, and management levels if necessary, so as to minimize risk due to supplier capacity issues, plant shutdowns, and other day to day disruptions that may affect Austal and/or open purchase orders. - Assists with supplier metrics and advises suppliers of their performance. - Maintains professional relationships with suppliers on the assigned buying desk even in difficult times. - Provides input on commodity strategies and related projects. - Reviews statements of work when required. - Purchases in both MRP and project/purchase requisition oriented type environments under Contractor Purchasing Systems Review guidelines. - Assists Other Buyers When Required. - Participates in plant continuous improvement, Lean Manufacturing, 5S, and other initiatives involving the plant Supply Chain function or assigned buying desk when appropriate. - Is the main contact point for outside departments (e.g., Engineering, Accounting, etc.) as well as suppliers. - Participates in price book activities. - Other duties as assigned. - Complies with Austal’s employee handbook general guidelines, company procedures and policies. We need to keep the ellipsis etc. Keep as is. Now "Minimum Education Required High School/GED". Then "Qualifications/Knowledge/Experience Additional Qualifications/Responsibilities Bachelor’s Degree Required, Degree in Business, Supply Chain or Material Management preferred. 6 years related experience may be considered in lieu of degree 2- Years Purchasing Experience Required Excellent time management skills as evidenced by the ability to adhere to deadlines while managing multiple priorities required.

Incumbent individuals are required to complete the requisite courses required to be eligible for promotion to the corresponding levels Certifications preferred: A.P.P., C.P.M., CPSM, CSCP, CPIM. Additional Preferred Work Experience Purchasing experience in a Contractor Purchasing System Review- U.S. defense environment.

General understanding of enterprise quality system functionality (e.g., ISO 9000, AS9100, TS16949, etc.). General understanding of the material, services and manufacturing processes associated with the assigned buying desk." We need to separate qualifications (education, experience) and skills (maybe list of skills). The instructions: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly Requirements could be used for education/experience? But we have Qualifications and Skills separate. We'll put education/experience under Qualifications, and specific skills under Skills. We need to avoid duplication: The qualifications block includes both education/experience and skills (Microsoft Office, etc.). We'll split. Let's extract education/experience: - Minimum Education Required: High School/GED - Bachelor’s Degree Required, Degree in Business, Supply Chain or Material Management preferred. - 6 years related experience may be considered in lieu of degree - 2- Years Purchasing Experience Required - New hires are required to successfully complete Austal Buyer II Certification within the first 90 days of hire. - Incumbent individuals are required to complete the requisite courses required to be eligible for promotion to the corresponding levels - Certifications preferred: A.P.P., C.P.M., CPSM, CSCP, CPIM. That's qualifications. Now skills: list of skills: - Excellent time management skills as evidenced by the ability to adhere to deadlines while managing multiple priorities required. - Basic to Intermediate level skills in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Power Point), Internet Explorer and Outlook required. - Access skills preferred. - Purchasing experience in a Contractor Purchasing System Review- U.S. defense environment. - Material and service quoting, analyzing, negotiating, reporting and purchase order placement. - Supplier rationalization activities (adding/removing suppliers and familiarity with Approved Supplier Lists, Bid Lists, and small business requirements). - Order follow-up activities (expediting, de-expediting and statusing). - Use of ERP/MRP systems and logic such as IFS, BAAN, SAP, JD Edwards and Oracle with IFS as first preference. - Discrepancy resolution activities such as invoice discrepancies, non-conforming material cases and repair/rework material authorizations. - Data mining and market analysis. - Dealing with traffic, routing instructions, and interaction with the laws governing direct and indirect purchasing. (duplicate line appears twice; we can keep once.) - Reading blueprints/drawings, interpret specifications and review statements of work. - General understanding of the Uniform Commercial Code, U.S. Government FAR, DFARS and ITAR requirements. - General understanding of enterprise quality system functionality (e.g., ISO 9000, AS9100, TS16949, etc.). - General understanding of the material, services and manufacturing processes associated with the assigned buying desk. Also maybe "Excellent time management skills" is a skill. We'll put these in

  • under Skills. Now schedule: "Unless specifically stated otherwise, this role is 'On-Site'". So schedule: On-Site. We also have "REPORTS TO: Manager Operational Contracts SUPERVISES: N/A". Could be placed in a short

    maybe under About the role or separate metadata. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a

    with "Reports to Manager Operational Contracts. No supervisory responsibilities." Or similar. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed. Now produce HTML:
