About the job
Exchanger Industries Limited (EIL) is Canada’s leading provider of custom heat transfer solutions. From our Alberta operations, we design and manufacture high-quality Shell & Tube heat exchangers, air coolers, and ASME-code pressure vessels for energy and industrial customers across Canada and around the world. We’re a close-knit team that takes engineering excellence seriously, treats customer success as the goal, and would rather get the details right the first time than fix them later.

About this role
This role needs two things that don’t usually show up in the same person.

The first is real technical depth, the kind where you can open a fabrication drawing, read it properly, cross-check it against the BOM and the estimate, and catch discrepancies before they become problems on the shop floor. The second is the relationship skill to make suppliers want to work with us, and to keep every internal team (project management, engineering, drafting, production, finance) pulling in the same direction.

What you’ll do

Run full-cycle project purchasing: translate requirements and BOMs into purchase orders, then expedite to keep materials arriving on schedule

Read fabrication and engineering drawings, and verify material grades, dimensions, specifications and quantities before issuing a PO

Cross-check BOMs against drawings and estimates, catching discrepancies before they reach manufacturing

Buy to ASME code and material-conformance requirements, certificates, traceability, approved sources

Run RFQs and award work by balancing conformance, price and lead time, not just lowest cost

Develop, qualify and manage suppliers, and monitor vendor performance

Act as the hub between suppliers and project management, engineering, drafting, production and finance

Work day to day in our ERP (Microsoft Dynamics) to keep purchasing accurate and visible

What you bring





Several years of full-cycle procurement or buying experience, ideally in manufacturing, fabrication, or a heavy-industry environment

The ability to read engineering and fabrication drawings and work confidently from a bill of materials

Familiarity with ASME code or material conformance (certs, traceability, approved sources) – or the aptitude and appetite to grow into it

Strong RFQ, sourcing and supplier-negotiation skills, with sound judgment on cost, quality and lead time

ERP fluency (experience with Microsoft Dynamics is an asset)

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, you build trust with vendors and internal teams alike

Sharp attention to detail and real satisfaction in getting orders right the first time

Nice to have

Experience buying for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, or other custom-fabricated equipment

Direct Microsoft Dynamics experience

A supply chain designation (SCMP, CSCP, or equivalent)

Work environment
This is a hybrid role based out of our Calgary area operations, with periodic travel to suppliers. It’s a fast-paced, project-driven custom manufacturing workplace where priorities move quickly and the work is genuinely varied.

What we offer
A competitive salary, annual bonus, matched retirement savings, and support for your professional development, plus the chance to do hands‑on, high-impact work on a small, capable team where what you do is visible and matters.

What we value RISE
Our values shape how we work together every day: Respect and Safety First, Integrity in Action, Seek Growth, and Excel as a Team. We hire people who are curious, speak up, and want to make the work around them better.
