  • Contracts Management and Administration: Working knowledge of contract development, execution, and compliance, including commercial terms, risk mitigation, and supplier agreements. Supports negotiations involving commodity pricing, technical specifications, and supplier performance expectations.
  • Negotiation: Ability to lead supplier negotiations related to pricing, capacity, and contractual terms, with a strong understanding of commodity-driven cost structures such as steel markets and fabrication processes.
  • Data Analytics: Leverages data to evaluate spend, identify cost drivers, assess supplier performance, and support fact-based sourcing decisions and negotiations.
  • Effective Communications: Communicates complex technical and business information clearly across cross-functional stakeholders, including Procurement, Engineering, and Suppliers.
  • Purchasing Tasks and Activities: Applies knowledge of procurement systems, processes, and compliance requirements in sourcing materials, components, and services.
  • Interpersonal Relationships: Builds strong working relationships across teams, adapts communication style to varying stakeholders, and effectively influences outcomes in both technical and commercial settings.

Top candidates will also have:
  • Degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field
  • Background as a Supplier Development Engineer (SDE), Manufacturing Engineer, or Quality Engineer
  • Experience in heavy manufacturing, industrial equipment, automotive, or metals-based industries
