This is a full-time role at the intersection of procurement, project support, and supply chain coordination, where your organizational skills will directly support Tesla’s broader mission of accelerating the transition to sustainable energy.

You’ll work alongside the Mechanical and Electrical purchasing teams to source high-quality commercial parts and ensure procurement records are accurate and well-organized.

This role requires someone who can juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball — someone who understands that on-time delivery isn’t just a metric, it’s what keeps complex engineering projects moving forward. Attention to detail, follow-through, and clear communication with suppliers are central to success here.

Pay may vary based on market location, experience, and skills.

Responsibilities

Working within Tesla’s Toronto Automation team, the Purchasing Coordinator manages a broad range of procurement activities that keep engineering projects and daily operations well-supplied. From processing purchase orders in the ERP system to expediting deliveries and maintaining tidy records, the role demands both precision and proactive communication.
