In some recent news from Hunt Electric’s Purchasing Department, Lydia Baker has been promoted to Assistant Buyer, effective September 2, 2024!
In her new role, Lydia will be working with the operations team to issue subcontracts and Master Service Agreements for subcontractors. She will also collect the required documentation needed for their projects and collaborate closely with vendors to place material orders.
Order exporting process
One important process Lydia has been involved with in her time at Hunt has been the daily maintenance of purchase orders and the purchase order exporting process.
Earlier this year, there were more than 300 unknown purchase orders in the log
This includes 150-200 purchase orders that need to be exported into Spectrum every day so their accounting department can pay invoices. Earlier this year, there were more than 300 unknown purchase orders in the log, and, with Lydia’s help, it has since been reduced to about ten.
Employee-ownership aspect
Lydia started with Hunt in 2023 and was drawn to the company because of the employee-ownership aspect and the opportunity to truly make a project her own.
“Opinions here are not only respected but heard and talked through so that improvements can be made,” says Lydia, “I am so excited to have had this opportunity to work in the electrical industry! We are excited for Lydia and wishing her the best in this new role! Congrats, Lydia!”
