  • Collaborate cross-functionally with maintenance, production, engineering, and logistics
  • Identify and manage supply chain risks, ensuring continuity in a dynamic environment
  • Develop scalable ways of working, processes, and governance within the category

Requirements

  • Degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or similar (or equivalent experience)
  • 5–10 years of experience in procurement, sourcing, or category management, ideally within industrial or MRO environments
  • Experience working in growing or changing environments, preferably during ramp-up phases
  • Knowledge of mechanical equipment, spare parts, and maintenance practices
  • Understanding of total cost of ownership and supplier management
  • Strong communication skills in English

Nice to have
