    Who We Are

    RealCraft builds custom wood doors and solid metal hardware for homes across the country. Everything we make is real—designed, built, and finished in-house. We’re looking for someone to take ownership of purchasing and inventory so our team has what they need, when they need it.

    This role is about keeping things moving. You’ll work closely with sales, drafting, production, and the warehouse to make sure materials are ordered correctly, tracked carefully, and arrive on time.

    Create and track purchase orders

    Follow up with vendors on timing, pricing, and availability

    Make sure materials arrive when production needs them

    Own inventory levels

    Monitor stock and reorder before shortages happen

    Understand what goes into our products so orders are accurate

    Work with the warehouse to receive and organize materials

    Spot excess or slow-moving inventory and help adjust

    Build and manage vendor relationships

    Stay in regular contact with suppliers

    Track pricing changes and lead times

    Negotiate when needed to get the best value

    Look for backup options when issues come up

    Stay aligned with the team

    Review drawings and specs before ordering

    Coordinate with sales and production on timing and needs

    Communicate delays, backorders, or cost changes early

    Make sure what’s ordered matches what’s required

    Solve problems and improve the process

    Handle damaged shipments, delays, or incorrect orders

    Look for ways to improve efficiency and reduce cost

    Help build better systems over time

    What we’re looking for

    3–5 years in purchasing, inventory, or a related role

    Strong attention to detail and organization

    Comfort managing multiple orders and priorities at once

    Clear, practical communication

    Someone who follows through and stays on top of things

    Experience with spreadsheets and inventory systems

    Helpful but not required

    Experience in manufacturing, construction materials, woodworking, or hardware

    This is a full-time, on-site role in Gig Harbor. You’ll be working closely with a hands-on team that values quality, accountability, and getting things done right.

    Compensation & Benefits

    $28–$34 per hour (depending on experience)

    Health insurance, PTO, paid holidays, and matching IRA
