Role Overview

This role is pivotal in driving the successful execution of Aftermarket Engineer-to-Order (ETO) projects by managing procurement and supply chain activities across the entire project lifecycle. Acting as a key project team member, the Project Supply Chain Coordinator ensures that all purchasing and logistics deliverables are aligned with project timelines, budgets, and quality standards.

The role involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure supply chain activities support overall project goals and customer expectations.

What you'll do


• Create and manage Purchase Orders as assigned by the Project Manager, ensuring alignment with project schedules, specifications and procurement requirements.

• Manage supply chain timelines by tracking purchase orders, coordinating supplier activities, and proactively mitigating delays.

• Monitor supplier performance and escalate risks or deviations from project plans.

• Facilitate cross-functional communication between engineering, logistics, finance, and quality teams to maintain project alignment.

• Support project reporting by maintaining accurate procurement documentation and contributing to progress updates.

• Coordinate logistics and documentation for international shipments, ensuring compliance with project and regulatory requirements.

• Oversee project-specific inventory movements, including stock reservations and transfers, to support timely execution.

Who you are

• Strong project coordination and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Solid understanding of operational procurement processes and supply chain best practices.

• Familiarity with international trade compliance and regulatory frameworks.

• Proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) for procurement tracking, reporting, and data management.

• High attention to detail and ownership of procurement deliverables within project constraints.

Additional Requirements

• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders.

• Responsiveness to project timelines, contractual obligations, and customer requirements.

• Willingness to travel up to 10% to support project execution and supplier engagement.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field (preferred).

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in procurement or supply chain roles within machinery, engineering, or industrial manufacturing sectors.

• Experience in project-based environments or ETO models is highly desirable.

What's in it for you

• Wellbeing and safety - benefit from occupational healthcare, generous benefits plan, healthy living rewards, and engagement surveys.

• Annual bonus - global incentive programs tied to business and performance targets.

• Hybrid working possibilities - while we are big advocates of meeting and collaborating in person, we believe in fostering a flexible work environment.

• Extensive learning opportunities - ongoing growth dialogues, internal mobility, mentoring programs, education assistance, ambitious projects, and global opportunities.

• Worldwide support - leverage our network of peers across the world, offering valuable assistance. We get things done together, through open and honest communication.

• A thriving culture – we are committed to developing an inclusive culture that enables everyone to do their best and reach their full potential. A culture that is courageous, compelling, and caring, and unites our people to build a sustainable future together.
