Bernice Ocheni

I’m a procurement specialist with hands-on experience managing procurement operations, strategic sourcing, vendor management, and supply chain coordination across construction fit-out and IT sector. I’ve managed procurement projects of over $5 million and reduced procurement cost by 10% through supplier negotiation and sourcing optimization.

In my current role as a Procurement Officer, I handle procurement documentation end-to-end—RFQs, RFP, purchase requisition, contracts, delivery receipts, and invoices—ensuring accuracy and compliance. I review quotations against project/material specifications, create and process Purchase Orders on Zoho books, and coordinate across suppliers and internal departments to keep procurement moving smoothly.

I also focus on measurable performance improvements, including digital and physical file organization that improved document retrieval time by 40%, and supplier performance evaluation to resolve post-order commercial issues. Previously, as an Operations Assistant and Procurement & Inventory Intern, I supported sourcing and supply of engineering materials, strengthened inventory management to reduce material shortages by 20%, and improved material tracking efficiency by 20% through disciplined documentation.
