I am an experienced purchasing and supply chain professional focused on quality and supplier management.
What I'm looking for
I am a purchasing and supply chain professional with a BSc in Purchasing and Supply Chain Management and hands-on experience in procurement, stores and inventory control. I focus on accurate documentation and compliance to support operational goals.
I have implemented quality control procedures, maintained detailed stock and inspection records, and applied 5S practices to improve workplace order and safety. I routinely create and track purchase orders, control stock quantities, and adjust reorder levels to avoid stockouts.
I collaborate across teams to strengthen supplier relationships, support supplier evaluation and bid processes, and assist with ISO documentation for procurement processes. I handle RFI/RFQ processing and participate in bid evaluations for long-term contracts.
I bring meticulous attention to detail, strong communication, and a cooperative work ethic. I am safety-focused, adaptable, and motivated to continue improving procurement and supply chain processes in a growth-oriented team.
