The role covers the procurement and expediting work a buyer and expeditor does on a mid-sized EPCM project, scaled to our lean sized, flat, quick moving startup: each procured scope runs as a package with placement of an initial RFQ, bid comparison and purchase order; every open order is chased against its promised date by phone, email and potentially local shop visits; imported specialty components are moved through our contracted logistics companies (freight forwarders and customs brokers) for transit, import clearance and delivery to site; vendor drawings, material certificates and data books are tracked to approval; and vendors deal with one contact, with engineers brought in only for technical decisions. Interface with our contracted logistics companies on imported specialty components: book transit, supply commercial invoices and packing lists, confirm HS codes and incoterms with the vendor, resolve customs holds, and track each shipment to delivery at site.
