· Develop and execute the project procurement plan based on project requirements, commodity strategies, supplier-market conditions, delivery priorities and contractual obligations.

· Provide reliable procurement inputs during the bidding phase, including budgetary quotations, cost estimates, lead times, sourcing assumptions, offer validity, logistics inputs, escalation or hedging provisions, and procurement risks and opportunities.

· Prepare sourcing and negotiation strategies with focus on total cost, competitiveness, cash flow, contractual protection, localization, supplier capacity and schedule security. Lead negotiation reviews, final negotiations, awards and contract placement.

· Coordinate RFQ packages, supplier onboarding and qualification, techno-commercial alignment, commercial comparisons, approvals, purchase orders, order acknowledgements and contractual documentation.

· Manage contract deviations, change orders, claims and supplier non-performance in cooperation with Project Management, Quality, Legal and Commercial teams.

· Promote local-for-local and local-for-global sourcing, alternate-source development, early supplier involvement, cost-out and value-engineering initiatives without compromising quality or project requirements.

· Ensure accurate and timely documentation in relevant procurement and reporting systems, including SAP and approved project procurement tools.
