CAREERS

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Specifications & Supplier Collaboration
  • Develop detailed technical specifications for bulk mechanical items in consultation with project engineers and design teams.
  • Possess a strong grasp of relevant engineering standards (e.g., ASTM, ASME) for materials and fabrication.
  • Collaborate with the Associate Manager - Procurement to identify, qualify, and build relationships with suppliers specializing in bulk mechanical components, with an emphasis on quality, reliability, and QHSE adherence.
  • Lead technical evaluations of bids, ensuring compliance with specifications and project requirements.
  • Participate in supplier meetings and negotiations, representing GAS LAB Asia's technical and commercial interests.
• Procurement Execution & Contract Management
  • Manage the entire procurement process for assigned bulk mechanical items, from purchase requisitions to order placement, expediting, and delivery coordination.
  • Ensure strict adherence to company policies, industry regulations, contractual obligations, and GAS LAB Asia's QHSE standards.
  • Collaborate closely with project schedules to ensure timely procurement and avoid construction delays.
• Risk Mitigation & Inventory Coordination
  • Assess supply chain risks specific to bulk mechanicals (e.g., raw material price fluctuations, long lead times) and proactively develop contingency plans.
  • Collaborate with the Associate Manager - Procurement and warehouse teams to establish minimum order quantities (MOQ) and minimum stock levels for standard items.
  • Support the development of just-in-time (JIT) delivery strategies for large and project-specific bulk mechanical components.
• Quality Assurance & QHSE Integration
  • Work closely with the Quality Assurance (QA) department to define quality standards and inspection protocols for bulk mechanical items.
  • Participate in pre-shipment inspections and supplier audits, ensuring adherence to specifications, quality, and QHSE requirements.
  • Conduct root cause analysis for quality issues and drive corrective actions with suppliers.
• Data Tracking and Reporting
  • Follow and maintain systems for consistent gathering of high-quality data to calculate Key Result (KR) metrics.
  • Regularly prepare and present KR reports on a monthly and quarterly basis to track progress against objectives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related field.
• 3+ years of experience in procurement of bulk mechanicals, preferably within the EPC, manufacturing, or similar industries.
• In-depth knowledge of materials (steel grades, fabrication processes), piping systems, and relevant engineering codes and standards.
• Strong understanding of procurement processes, contract management, and supply chain dynamics.
• Familiarity with quality assurance principles (e.g., ISO 9001) and a commitment to QHSE.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
