China-based procurement specialist with 5 years' experience in industrial purchasing. English working proficiency. Open to remote roles.
What I'm looking for
I'm Kent, a procurement professional based in mainland China with five years of experience in industrial equipment, spare parts, and medical laboratory supplies. My strengths include supplier coordination, commercial negotiation, cost reduction, inventory control, and international delivery coordination.
At Hilong Oil Service & Engineering Co., Ltd., I handled approximately RMB 9 million in procurement across 100+ contracts in 2024 and RMB 4 million across 100+ contracts in 2025, supporting operations in the UAE, Libya, and Ecuador. My purchasing experience includes drilling equipment, variable frequency drives, motors, control cabinets, and electrical components.
One of my key achievements was helping reduce ceramic mud pump liner purchase prices by approximately 20%. I coordinated technical review with the end-user team, secured management approval, and facilitated a successful trial of an alternative supplier. Around 70% of company projects subsequently switched to that supplier for these liners.
I also coordinated the emergency delivery of OEM-only spare parts to a UAE worksite within approximately 3–4 days, helping restore equipment operations. My responsibilities included purchasing coordination, on-site collection, and handover for onward transport. I have hands-on experience with SAP, shipment tracking, customs documentation, and procurement records.
Previously, at Tianjin KingMed Clinical Laboratory, I independently managed purchasing and replenishment of COVID-19 testing supplies, reviewed supplier qualifications, and supported inventory planning and contract administration.
I hold a bachelor's degree in International Economics and Trade from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). I can work independently in English and communicate with both Chinese suppliers and international teams. I also enjoy learning practical AI tools and have developed and launched a WeChat Mini Program.
I'm seeking a long-term remote procurement or supply chain role that allows me to remain based in mainland China (UTC+8). I'm open to either employment or contract arrangements and am available for domestic and international business travel. I can start immediately.
