Project Purchaser at KRB Rakennus Oy, coordinating construction and shipbuilding procurement from RFQs to on-time deliveries.
What I'm looking for
At KRB Rakennus Oy, a Meyer Turku subcontractor, I coordinate project purchasing for construction and shipbuilding. I manage procurement from material planning and RFQs through supplier negotiations, purchase orders, and delivery follow-up.
At JSC Altynalmas, I managed industrial procurement batches with a $2M+ annual scope and international supply lines in SAP ERP. I negotiated supplier terms that achieved annual savings of 8–12%.
At LLP KaR-Tel/Beeline, I managed end-to-end tender processes, from planning and documentation to bid evaluation support and follow-up. I also prepared tender committee records and tracked savings from competitive procurement.
Earlier, as a Purchasing Specialist at JV LLP KATCO and a Procurement Specialist at KazMunaiGas Service-Compass, I handled purchasing, supplier research, RFQs, and contract documentation. I hold an MBA in Service Design from Novia University of Applied Sciences and am seeking opportunities to contribute my procurement, sourcing, and supply chain expertise.
