Purchasing & Inventory Planner
Fence Masters | Chicago Heights area | Full-time, hourly (overtime eligible)
Reports to: Commercial Project Manager (dotted line to Operations Manager)
Pay: $30.00 – $34.00 per hour, based on experience, plus overtime
About the Role
Fence Masters is hiring a Purchasing & Inventory Planner to own how material gets planned, bought, received, and delivered across our residential and commercial work. This is not an order-taking role. You will look ahead at our sold backlog and schedule, decide what we need and when to buy it, and make sure we pay the right price for it. Done well, this role directly protects job margins and keeps crews working without delays.
What You'll Do
Plan Ahead
Review the sold backlog, production schedule, and job estimates to forecast material needs weeks and months in advance
Decide when to buy — locking in pricing when jobs sell, buying ahead of announced supplier increases, and timing orders around lead ti
