What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement role where I can lead category buying and planning, work closely with production and logistics, and use SAP/ERP to improve service levels, stock flow, and project delivery.

I work as a Category Buyer focused on “Integraciones, Proyectos, Baterías,” handling procurement activities with a strong operational mindset. I’ve built my expertise across multiple industrial environments, including TECOEL and Vaillant-Group, consistently supporting purchasing flow, order follow-up, and day-to-day coordination.

My background combines technical training in “Desarrollo de Productos Electrónicos” with practical supply-chain work—planner buying, “Resp. de Compras,” “Resp. de Compras y Almacén,” and “Recepción de Materiales.” I’m comfortable using ERP tools like SAP (MM), BAAN, InfoERP, and InfoLN, and I value accuracy, responsiveness, and process improvement to keep stock and deliveries aligned with project needs.
