The Purchasing team plays a critical role in supporting Irving Oil’s operations across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. This team is responsible for sourcing and procuring goods and services for nearly all business areas, with the exception of turnaround-related items and long-lead project procurement.
