Build the Backbone of Kansas City's Best Electrical Team
For more than 40 years, Teague Electric has powered homes, businesses, and communities across the Kansas City area. Our success isn't built solely on the work happening in the field—it's built on the people behind the scenes who make that work possible.
We're looking for a Warehouse Purchaser who understands that having the right material, at the right price, at the right time can make or break a project. If you're organized, detail-oriented, comfortable working with vendors, and know how to stay ahead of material needs, we want to talk to you!
At Teague, purchasing is more than placing orders. This position plays a critical role in keeping our warehouse stocked, our projects moving, and our field teams productive. You'll work closely with our warehouse team, field team, vendors, and supply houses to make sure materials are sourced accurately, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
Why Join Teague?
Competitive Compensation
At Teague, people matter. We believe in teamwork, accountability, continuous improvement, and treating each other with respect. Many of our employees have built long-term careers here because they know they're valued, supported, and given opportunities to grow.
What You'll Do
Anyone can place an order. The right purchaser helps keep an entire operation moving. Every price you negotiate, every lead time you catch, and every material order you get ahead of helps our crews stay productive and our projects stay on schedule. You'll be an important connection between our field teams, warehouse, vendors, and project leadership.
If you enjoy solving problems, building vendor relationships, finding the best purchasing solutions, and being part of a team where your work has a direct impact on the company's success, we'd love to hear from you.
