Senior Procurement Specialist at Ontario Power Generation supporting the Small Modular Reactor Project and developing sourcing strategies.
What I'm looking for
At Ontario Power Generation, I support procurement for the Small Modular Reactor Project, developing sourcing strategies and assessing suppliers, bids, and contract requirements.
Previously at OPG, I worked as a Project Control Engineer, updating schedules in P6 and preparing project forecasts in EcoSys. As a Procurement Specialist at Pickering, I helped the backlog reduction team meet its 2017 and 2018 CC/CN backlog targets.
Earlier, I managed procurement and contracts across defence, oil and gas, and manufacturing. At TWM Oil Company, I designed a supplier performance dashboard that improved supplier performance by 10%, and negotiated savings before contract kick-off.
