**Choose Barrie**

The City of Barrie is a vibrant, progressive, and growing community with deep connections to our heritage, to nature and to the opportunities surrounding us.

Our community values quality of life; the ability to play year-round with 300 hectares of park space, our beautiful waterfront, our lively downtown core and the nearby hills, wetlands, and forests. We also value connections; to our neighbours and the community, to our road and rail network, and to the opportunity Barrie provides to enjoy life.

Everything Barrie has to offer, from the water we drink to the roads we travel on, has one thing in common - municipal workers. Joining a municipality is one of the most rewarding, engaging, and exciting careers you could choose. It is a career you can take pride in knowing that every day you make a positive impact on an entire community. We are one team, with one goal and we all work together to continue making our community great.

**The Opportunity**

The Finance Department provides financial leadership, advice and support to the Corporation and assists with the delivery of Council’s Strategic plan through its four essential services: accounting services, corporate finance, procurement and revenue management. The department's main deliverables include the audited financial statements, coordinating the annual business plan and budget, treasury and debt management, procurement administration and support, property tax revenue management, and water and wastewater revenue management.

Reporting to the Supervisor of Purchasing, the Purchasing Agent applies best practices in assessing, recommending and undertaking procurement processes that meet client needs, while also ensuring processes are compliant with the Procurement By-Law, policies and procedures, and applicable regulations, legislation, and trade agreements. In addition to routine procurement processes, the Purchasing Agent also develops and executes complex and/or flexible (non-binding) procurement processes that may be unique and non-routine requiring significant critical thinking, judgment, and collaboration skills. The Purchasing Agent independently supports a client portfolio providing professional expertise and guidance including strategic procurement planning, risk assessment, procurement framework selection, preparation of bid documents (including review of specifications and agreement), management of bid process in a fully electronic bidding environment, negotiation and contract formation. The Purchasing Agent provides advisory support for operational activities related to the Procurement By-law, policies, procedures and protocols, including contract issues and conflict resolution.
