  • Ensure all procurement activities comply with company policies, client requirements, and relevant standards

About You

  • Proven experience in a Buyer, Procurement Co-ordinator or similar purchasing role.
  • Experience within the oil and gas, energy, engineering, industrial or technical supply sectors is highly desirable.
  • A strong understanding of purchasing processes, supplier management, and order expediting.
