POSITION PURPOSE
The Procurement Specialist sources, purchases, and expedites materials, equipment, fabricated components, services, and subcontracted work required to support ICM projects. This role partners with supply chain, project management, engineering, manufacturing, field execution, accounting, warehouse, vendor management, and shipping to protect cost, schedule, compliance, and execution readiness.
This hands-on role converts project demand into disciplined purchasing activity, manages supplier commitments, maintains accurate D365 records, and escalates risks before they affect project performance.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Project procurement directly affects margin, schedule, field readiness, supplier reliability, and customer commitments. This role improves execution by making purchasing decisions timely, accurate, visible, and risk aware.
- Source materials, equipment, fabrication, services, and subcontracted work in support of active and upcoming capital projects.
- Ensure supplier commitments, lead times, freight needs, documentation, pricing, and purchase order details are accurate and visible.
WHO WILL THRIVE IN THIS ROLE
This role is for a detail-oriented buyer who balances urgency with process discipline. The ideal candidate is commercially aware, organized, persistent, comfortable in an ERP environment, and trusted for timely communication, reliable follow-through, and early risk escalation.
- You follow details closely but still understand the bigger project impact of cost, lead time, freight, quality, and supplier performance.
- You are comfortable escalating issues early and bringing options, facts, and recommendations—not just problems.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND BASIC DUTIES
Key responsibilities include:
- Execute project procurement. Source, quote, negotiate, purchase, and expedite materials, equipment, fabrication, services, and subcontracted work required for assigned projects.
- Partner with project teams. Work with project management, engineering, manufacturing, field execution, warehouse, accounting, vendor management, and shipping to clarify requirements, priorities, delivery needs, and supplier expectations.
- Manage RFQs and supplier quotes. Prepare RFQs, gather competitive pricing, evaluate supplier responses, confirm commercial terms, identify exceptions, and recommend award decisions based on cost, quality, lead time, availability, risk, and project fit.
- Create and maintain purchase orders. Issue accurate purchase orders in D365, maintain item data and delivery dates, confirm order acceptance, document changes, and keep procurement records complete, current, and organized.
