Logistics and Operational Purchasing Expert (German Speaker)

A snapshot of Your Day

As a Logistics and Operational Purchasing Expert, you will thrive in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same, and each day brings a wide range of meaningful responsibilities. Your work begins with identifying requirements for offshore projects, reviewing quotations, and ordering the equipment and services needed.

Also, it includes monitoring delivery performance, evaluating suppliers, and providing both operational and strategic purchasing support across a broad range of topics. Offshore logistics is unique, as it requires not only exporting goods but, where necessary, arranging their return import as well. Ensuring the reliability of the entire supply and value chain is therefore a key part of the role every single day.

• Creating and maintaining material master data to ensure a smooth ordering process.
• System-based recording and management of the setup of new suppliers. Maintaining and updating logistics-related data.
• Coordinating goods deliveries to customers and service warehouses.
• Managing goods receipt and dispatch for service operations. Inspecting and posting goods in coordination with warehouse service providers. Managing and monitoring the ordering process in SAP.
• Organizing and coordinating transport through contracted service providers. Coordinating the return delivery and import process from offshore construction sites.

What you bring

• A completed university degree or a three-year commercial or technical vocational qualification, ideally supplemented by further training in purchasing, procurement, and/or logistics, or equivalent knowledge acquired through practical experience
• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in purchasing and procurement of services, materials, and products within a large organization
• Solid knowledge of the relevant products, product groups, and services
• Basic understanding of business administration and finance. Foundational knowledge of contract law from a purchasing perspective
