Management Level:

P1

The position is critical in a plant environment to ensure the timely acquisition of indirect materials, components, and services that keep production running without interruption. In manufacturing, even short delays in supply can halt operations, disrupt schedules, and increase costs. This role manages the full procurement cycle for indirect material — coordinating with suppliers, processing purchase orders, tracking deliveries, and resolving discrepancies. They proactively prevent stockouts and overstocking, both of which can negatively impact production efficiency and working capital.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supplier Coordination: Communicating with vendors to confirm pricing accuracy, resolve blocked documents, and address discrepancies between invoices and purchase orders.

• Issue Resolution: Working with corporate teams to clear open goods and ensure goods receipts (GRs) are processed promptly, maintaining accurate inventory and financial records.

• Compliance & Reporting: Ensuring procurement activities align with corporate policies, financial controls, and audit requirements — essential for a publicly traded company.

• Operational Support: Participating in bi-weekly corporate meetings to address procurement bottlenecks and improve process efficiency.

A dedicated Procurement Administrator helps the plant to reduce risk of supply delays, cost overruns, inaccurate financial reporting, and compliance issues — all of which can directly impact productivity, profitability, and shareholder confidence. By maintaining accurate records, managing supplier relationships, and ensuring timely procurement, this role safeguards operational continuity, supports cost control, and upholds the company’s financial integrity.
