　　Description

　　Aero Precision’s roots are deeply tied to aerospace, and our drive for clean, perfect engineering and machining stems from that. When you’re building something that will fly in the air, there is no margin for error. We take that same approach in the firearms industry. Not every manufacturer will have razor thin tolerance levels. Not every manufacturer will personally oversee the development, design and machining of every part that comes off the line. We’re not every manufacturer.

　　The Opportunity.The Senior Buyer is essential to help us formalize our purchasing practices, ensuring production demands are met and costs are controlled. You will work closely with our planning department and production team by providing necessary quality materials and components in a timely manner.
