Job Description

Purchasing Manager is responsible for managing, optimizing, and driving value for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), technical spare parts, consumables, tooling, and contracted industrial services. (Freight and primary inbound/outbound logistics are excluded from this role's scope).

  • Conduct continuous market intelligence, commodity tracking, and cost structure benchmarking to identify cost reduction opportunities.
  • Monitor supplier performance via Service Level Agreements (SLAs), On-Time In-Full (OTIF) metrics, quality rejection rates, and quarterly vendor reviews.

Inventory Replenishment & Stock Optimization

  • Design, implement, and optimize a robust consumable and spare parts replenishment system (e.g., Min/Max, KanBan, VMI, ERP-driven reorder points).
  • Drive optimal inventory turn rates, balance buffer stocks against lead-time volatility, and guarantee key operational items maintain high availability.
  • Partner with warehouse and maintenance personnel to ensure accurate physical stock tagging, layout optimization, and bin location tracking.

Commercial Operations & Data Analysis

  • Manage the purchase order (PO) lifecycle: requisition processing, order placement, vendor confirmations, expediting critical parts, and resolving invoice discrepancies with Finance.
  • Maintain master procurement data integrity (item masters, pricing agreements, lead times, vendor safety stock) in the ERP platform.
