Purchasing Coordinator

Sterling Fleet Outfitters exists to help companies Get More Done. Who does not want to embody that statement? Time is a finite resource. Not making the most of every minute is not in our DNA, and we don't believe it's in our customers' either. The question to ask now is: What is your “More”? Is it more billable hours on a job? More time at home with your family? Whatever it means to you, we help you and our customers accomplish it.

Sterling is where electricians, plumbers, telecom contractors, and HVAC technicians come for van and truck equipment that boosts their productivity. Some have a single vehicle, while others operate large fleets — but whether big or small, they all rely on the innovative thinking and quality workmanship we provide.

Since our launch in 2002, we've expanded to become Western Canada's premier commercial vehicle outfitter and are recognized throughout North America. We owe much of our 24 years of success to the efforts of our smart, efficient, and hardworking team members. We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Purchasing Coordinator to support our Purchasing team.
