• Monitor supplier delivery, quality, and issue resolution to reduce disruptions and maintain operational continuity.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience in MRO purchasing, sourcing, or procurement within a maintenance, repair, transmission, or industrial setting.

• Solid background in vendor management and building productive supplier relationships.
