What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue driving end-to-end procurement, strategic sourcing and presales support for engineering, technology, industrial or Oil & Gas projects, with responsibility for supplier strategy, commercial evaluation, negotiation and delivery performance.

I've supported end-to-end procurement, strategic sourcing and presales for engineering, industrial telecom, security and technology projects across the UAE and international markets.

At Neo Plus Pte Ltd, I manage sourcing from requirements clarification and RFQ/RFP issuance through supplier evaluation, negotiation, award support and purchase-order follow-up. I prepare technical and commercial bid evaluations and coordinate delivery milestones with suppliers, logistics, engineering, sales and project teams.

Previously at NEST, I procured production, engineering, drilling and general materials for Oil & Gas and government projects, including ADNOC Group and Abu Dhabi Government tender submissions. I negotiated cost, lead time, quality and delivery with local and international suppliers to improve competitiveness and profitability.

My experience also includes retail-project procurement at Axiom Telecom, telecom and safety-system procurement support at 3W Networks, and sales support engineering at Business Communications. I work with SAP, Ariba, ERP systems and procurement documentation to maintain compliance, clear audit trails and reliable supplier relationships.
