What I'm looking for

I’m looking to use my procurement and supply chain knowledge and practical experience in supplier sourcing and evaluation, tender administration, purchasing documentation, and inventory control, contributing to efficient processes, cost effectiveness, compliance, and value for money.

At RONGAI WORKSHOP AND TRANSPORT, I received and inspected workshop supplies, checked deliveries against purchase orders, and prepared monthly stock and consumption reports. I also recorded stock issued to mechanics and monitored fuel, tyres, and lubricants usage.

At KENYA INSTITUTE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION, I maintained procurement records, prepared purchase orders on the ERP system, and facilitated tender documents and advertisements. I also supported procurement planning and the receipt and inspection of goods and services.

At MIZIZI ELIMU AFRIKA (NGO), I supported supplier sourcing, evaluation, due diligence, and pre-qualification. I prepared price quote comparisons and maintained procurement records, while assisting the Finance team with transactions and documentation using Xero and Approvalmax.

My experience also includes procurement attachments at COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF MACHAKOS and COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF KIRINYAGA, supporting tender processes, purchase orders, invoice reconciliation, and inventory records. I hold a Bachelor of Procurement and Logistics from KCA UNIVERSITY.
