Full-Time | On-Site | Gardena & Los Alamitos, CA | $100,000 – $130,000 DOE

TCI Precision Metals and E-Z LOK are sister divisions of Tool Components, Inc., a third-generation, family-owned manufacturing company founded in 1956.

TCI Precision Metals, headquartered in Gardena, CA, is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Machine-Ready Blanks—precision-ground and milled aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, and copper products that eliminate material prep for machine shops and OEMs nationwide.

E-Z LOK, based in Los Alamitos, CA, is a well-known brand of threaded inserts for metal, wood, and plastic—including the E-Z LOK™ solid wall, E-Z Coil™, E-Z Knife™, E-Z Hex™, E-Z Sonic™, and E-Z Press™ product lines—sold through a nationwide distributor network and direct e-commerce.

Both divisions hold ISO 9001 certification, and TCI additionally holds AS9100 certification. Together, they serve industries including aerospace, defense, medical, semiconductor, automotive, and general manufacturing.

We are looking for a hands-on Purchasing Manager to take full ownership of procurement across both TCI Precision Metals and E-Z LOK.

The right person combines sharp negotiation skills with deep knowledge of metals and manufactured components supply chains, and is comfortable working across two distinct product lines and ERP environments. This is a high-impact role with real visibility—your decisions will directly affect margins, on-time delivery, and operational efficiency across the entire organization.

•       Help set and maintain min/max levels, reorder points, safety stock, and order policies for both divisions

•       Balance inventory availability against excess and obsolete stock

•       Coordinate buys based on demand forecasts, customer orders, production schedules, and seasonality

•       Support cycle count and inventory accuracy efforts where purchasing impacts inventory health

•       Work closely with production, planning, warehouse, sales, and customer service teams at both TCI and E-Z LOK

•       Ensure material availability to support manufacturing schedules without interruption at either facility

•       Prioritize purchases for urgent jobs, stockouts, and customer commitments

•       Communicate supply risks, delays, and allocation issues early and proactively

•       Coordinate with quality on supplier corrective actions and vendor quality issues

•       Ensure purchased materials meet specifications, certifications, and regulatory requirements (including AS9100 for TCI’s aerospace work)

•       Maintain vendor documentation including W-9s, insurance certificates, conflict minerals declarations, country-of-origin documentation, and RoHS/REACH compliance records as applicable

•       Drive cost reduction initiatives through negotiation, alternate sourcing, consolidation, and value analysis across both divisions

•       Track purchase price variance (PPV) and document savings

•       Review and respond to vendor price increases and market changes

•       Identify freight, packaging, and minimum order quantity improvements

•       Maintain accurate item and vendor purchasing data in the ERP systems (NetSuite & Epicor) for both TCI and E-Z LOK

•       Review and update lead times, costs, supplier records, and purchasing parameters

•       Leverage ERP/MRP outputs to plan and manage purchasing activity

•       Report on open POs, late deliveries, supplier scorecards, inventory position, and savings across both divisions
