A Snapshot of Your Day
The workday in the office typically begins with the weekly meeting of the Strategic Procurement team, where current topics and challenges are discussed. A particular focus is placed on the area of Large Power Transformers (LPT). Interactions with suppliers, which take place either on-site at the plant or virtually via Microsoft Teams, constitute another important part of your responsibilities. As a Strategic Buyer, you are also responsible for handling larger procurement projects, especially for LPT components, as well as coordinating internal communication between stakeholders and suppliers. These tasks give a smooth workflow and the optimization of procurement processes.
