This Role Isn't for Everyone

It is for individuals who move fast, think strategically, and take ownership of the materials pipeline that keeps a business running at full speed. As a Buyer at Roma Moulding, you will play a critical role in ensuring that the right materials arrive at the right time, at the right cost, and with the right quality. If you thrive on negotiation, supply chain efficiency, and building strong vendor relationships, this role is the chance to make a measurable impact every single day. If you want a predictable routine without challenge or urgency, this will not be the role for you.
