Procurement Specialist skilled in vendor management, contract execution, and cost-optimized program delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Procurement Specialist with deep experience across full project lifecycles, procurement execution, and program coordination. I create and process purchase orders up to $50,000, manage vendor/supplier databases, and keep purchases, contracts, and vendor communications aligned so deliverables stay on track.
Previously, I served as Transportation Manager, Assistant Project Manager, and Construction Manager, where I led cross-functional teams, ensured safety and operational standards, and supported budget adherence through billing statements and project closeouts. I bring a practical, detail-focused approach to nationwide purchasing—managing generator engines and industrial parts across multiple U.S. regions—while continuously improving processes to reduce delays and optimize costs.
