Rommel Samson
@rommelsamson
I’m a results-driven Purchasing Supervisor with 20 years managing procurement, negotiations, and vendor performance.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
With about 20 years of experience as a purchasing practitioner from various reputable multinational companies, I’m hardworking and result driven. I focus on achieving business goals through a broad range of purchasing expertise, effective communication, and innovative skills.
Since Mar. 2018, I’ve been a Purchasing Supervisor at Filoil Logistics Corporation, overseeing bidding, contract negotiation, awarding, and PO preparation for civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering projects/services. I also manage local/imported production and engineering equipment, spare parts, and consumables—from sourcing/canvassing and price negotiation to PO preparation and delivery monitoring.
I strengthen supplier readiness through vendor accreditation and assessment/rating, while coordinating with multiple departments to address their requirements. I conduct regular site inspections, attend progress meetings, and in parallel assist and supervise teams of subordinates to keep projects moving.
Earlier roles—including Purchasing Engineer at JG Summit Petrochemical Corporation and Foreign Purchasing Supervisor at Wyeth Philippines, Inc.—expanded my breadth across imported raw/packaging materials, customs releasing, insurance claims, and import/export-related purchasing responsibilities. I’m proficient with SAP, JD Edwards, and MS Office, and I bring structured control to purchasing, inventory, and delivery outcomes.
