The Technical Buyer leads the full source-to-pay process, secures competitive total cost and favorable commercial terms, and supports project profitability while mitigating risk and achieving overall business objectives.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary procurement contact for assigned suppliers throughout the full source-to-pay process, including requests for information (RFIs), requests for quotation (RFQs), bid analysis, supplier selection, negotiations, purchase order placement, expediting, change management, invoice resolution, and project closeout.
Review and interpret technical specifications, engineering drawings, bills of materials, data sheets, and scopes of work to identify procurement requirements and support effective supplier selection.
Source, evaluate, and negotiate with suppliers to secure the best combination of cost, quality, delivery performance, and commercial terms in line with project and business objectives.
Manage the full procurement lifecycle, including RFQs, bid evaluations, purchase order creation, expediting activities, change order management, and resolution of invoice issues.
Partner with Engineering, Project Management, Quality, Supply Chain, and other stakeholders to ensure purchased goods and services meet technical requirements, budget constraints, and project schedules.
Develop and maintain strong supplier relationships, assess supplier capabilities and risks, and drive cost savings, supply continuity, and overall procurement performance.
Create, issue, and manage purchase orders, ensuring accurate pricing, scope, delivery requirements, and compliance with project specifications and contractual terms.
Coordinate closely with suppliers, logistics teams, and project stakeholders to track orders, manage shipments, and ensure on-time delivery of materials and services.
Monitor supplier performance and expedite critical orders to proactively mitigate risks related to schedule delays, quality issues, capacity constraints, and other supply chain disruptions.
Analyze supplier quotations, market conditions, and total cost factors to support sourcing decisions, negotiations, and cost optimization initiatives.
Resolve purchase order changes, invoice discrepancies, nonconforming materials, warranty claims, and other commercial issues while maintaining proper documentation and approvals.
Maintain accurate and complete procurement documentation, including sourcing records, supplier agreements, purchase orders, change orders, and delivery status updates.
Track and report key procurement metrics such as cost savings, committed spend, supplier performance, delivery status, and project risks, and use these insights to drive continuous improvement.
Ensure all procurement activities align with organizational policies, project requirements, and contractual obligations while supporting overall business objectives.

Essential Skills

6+ years of experience as a Technical Buyer or in a similar technical procurement role.
Proven experience in purchasing and procurement within an engineering or project-based environment.
Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, bills of material, technical specifications, data sheets, and scopes of work.

Demonstrated buying experience, including vendor management, supplier evaluation, and negotiation.
Solid understanding of supply chain principles and practices, including sourcing, logistics, and inventory considerations.
Strong negotiation skills with the ability to secure competitive total cost and favorable commercial terms.
Experience managing purchase orders, including creation, tracking, expediting, and change management.
Ability to monitor and manage supplier performance, including cost, quality, delivery, and service levels.
Bachelors degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Procurement, or Business.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams and external suppliers.
Strong analytical skills to evaluate supplier quotations, assess market conditions, and support cost optimization.
High attention to detail and accuracy in documentation, pricing, terms, and delivery requirements.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Professional certifications such as APICS, CPSM, or CIPS are highly desirable.

Experience working with complex, technical projects involving equipment, construction materials, fabrication services, and specialized labor.

Experience tracking and reporting procurement metrics such as cost savings, committed spend, and supplier performance.
Ability to travel up to approximately 30% of the time, both domestically and internationally, to visit suppliers and support project needs.
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to resolve commercial issues such as nonconforming materials, warranty claims, and invoice discrepancies.
Comfort working in a dynamic, project-driven environment with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
