Your Impact

  • Identify, evaluate and develop suppliers for customised components, balancing quality, cost, delivery performance, sustainability and supply chain risk.

  • Negotiate framework agreements, contracts and pricing structures that support volatile demand, complex components and project-specific requirements.

  • Build long-term supplier partnerships capable of handling special materials, technical complexity, variable order volumes and long lead times.

  • Monitor supplier performance through KPIs, with particular focus on delivery reliability, quality, cost efficiency and compliance with standards.
