Ted Marinov

I am a detail-oriented and financially savvy Procurement Specialist with over 5 years of experience in managing the purchasing, sourcing, and analysis of truck parts and equipment in fast-paced logistics and construction environments. My proven track record in vendor negotiation, budget oversight, and compliance tracking for assets exceeding $1M has equipped me with the skills necessary to drive cost-effective and timely procurement decisions.

At CalPortland, I successfully managed procurement and accounts payable operations for construction equipment and truck parts, overseeing a portfolio exceeding $1M. My ability to negotiate vendor pricing and contracts led to a 10% annual reduction in third-party procurement spend. I pride myself on my collaborative communication style, which has allowed me to align effectively with yard managers, fleet teams, and finance departments to ensure project needs are met without downtime.

Previously, as a Senior Purchasing Agent at Arizona Materials, I supervised a warehouse team and improved operational workflows through a full system reorganization. My experience in maintaining vendor relationships and sourcing competitive pricing has been instrumental in supporting a fleet that operates with over $24M annually. I am currently pursuing a B.A. in Business Management at Arizona State University, further enhancing my expertise in procurement and financial analysis.
