Golden City Supply Ltd. is a Calgary building materials supplier serving professional contractors and homeowners. Our product range spans roofing, siding, lumber, drywall, insulation, cabinets, and hardware - supplying everything from full jobsite orders for trades to individual purchases for homeowners.

We are expanding into a larger facility and building toward a warehouse-retail format serving both trade and retail customers.

The Role
We are looking for an experienced purchasing professional to take ownership of procurement across our full product range - someone ambitious, who wants a role with room to grow rather than a fixed set of tasks.

This position works closely with ownership on sourcing decisions and plays an important part in managing company margin. As the business scales, so does the role.

The right candidate knows the products, recognizes when a quote is genuinely competitive, and manages vendor relationships with discipline.

Key Responsibilities
Sourcing and vendor management

Source and evaluate quotes across a broad supplier base

Maintain our cost model - vendor pricing, freight terms, competitor benchmarks, and landed cost by SKU

Monitor price movement over time to support data-driven purchasing decisions

Develop vendor relationships and negotiate favourable commercial terms

Cost and margin management

Reconcile rebate programs and verify accruals against amounts received

Identify margin erosion and recommend corrective pricing action





Purchasing and inventory

Issue purchase orders within defined authority limits

Manage reorder points and inventory levels to balance availability against carrying cost

Coordinate inbound logistics and resolve shortages, damages, and backorders

Maintain inventory accuracy through our facility expansion

Qualifications
Required

Working knowledge of building materials. You understand units, coverage, and product application, and you can identify when a substitution is unsuitable for the job. This is the single most important qualification for this role.

2+ years in purchasing, buying, inside sales, counter sales, or distribution within building supply, roofing distribution, lumber, cabinets, or hardware

Competence in Excel - accurate data entry, comparative analysis, and sound reasoning on landed cost

Demonstrated ability to negotiate effectively with vendor representatives

Organized and self-directed, capable of operating with limited supervision

Legally entitled to work in Canada

Preferred

Experience with buying group or co-operative rebate structures

What We Offer

Competitive compensation with a performance review at three months

Direct reporting line to ownership and a short decision-making chain

Meaningful ownership of the procurement function

A clear path to Purchasing Manager as the business scales into large-format operations

Secure weekday hours
