Key Responsibilities

1) Strategic & Operational Procurement

• Develop and execute procurement strategies aligned with project schedules, budgets, and quality targets.
  
• Lead sourcing for long-lead and critical packages (e.g., MEP systems, HVAC chillers, large pumps/compressors, overhead cranes, fire protection systems, process equipment).
  
• Prepare and issue RFQs and RFPs with clear technical/commercial scopes, evaluation criteria, and submission templates.
  
• Conduct technical/commercial bid evaluations (tabulations, TCO/life-cycle costing), recommend awards, and secure approvals.
  
• Draft and issue Purchase Orders/Subcontracts, tracking milestones, documentation deliverables, and warranties.

2) EPC Contract Management

• Plan and manage procurement within EPC frameworks, coordinating with Engineering, Planning, QA/QC, HSE, and Construction.
  
• Control long-lead item workflows: vendor document schedules (MDR), ITPs, quality plans, FAT/SAT requirements, and spare parts lists.
  
• Ensure alignment of technical interfaces among packages and disciplines; manage engineering queries and deviations.
  
Monitor vendor progress, expediting production and documentation to meet overall EPC schedule.

3) Back-to-Back Contracting (Flow-Down)

• Mirror main-contract obligations to suppliers/subcontractors, ensuring back-to-back coverage for scope, schedule, LDs, warranties, performance guarantees, IP/HSE/insurance, and confidentiality.
  
• Validate that commercial protections (e.g., Performance Bonds, Advance Payment Guarantees) and warranty periods are consistent with the main contract.

4) Subcontractor/Vendor Selection & Management

• Lead vendor prequalification (technical, financial, capacity, HSE) for local and international suppliers.
  
• Contribute to subcontractor selection with structured scoring matrices; run clarification and negotiation meetings.
  
Maintain vendor KPIs (OTIF delivery, NCR rates, response times) and manage performance improvement plans.

5) Post-Contract Management & Expediting

• Execute post-award administration: kick-off meetings, issuance of vendor data requirements, and baseline delivery plans.
  
• Expedite engineering submittals, manufacturing, inspections, logistics, customs clearance, and site receiving.
  
• Coordinate FAT/SAT, punch-lists, O&M manuals, training, and handover dossiers.
