Support CSP facilities in resolution of supplier issues; lead negotiations as necessary

Build and maintain strong working relationships with suppliers supporting CSP plants

May participate in Supplier Quality audits and financial health assessments of critical suppliers

Analytical & Cost Management

Identify and execute cost savings opportunities using data analysis (e.g., spend analytics, should-cost modeling, PPV and BIP tracking)

Analyze supplier quotes and proposals using structured cost breakdowns to determine most competitive and lowest-risk suppliers

Build and maintain reporting/dashboards (e.g., Power BI, Excel) to track commodity pricing trends, savings pipelines, and supplier performance

Monitor and forecast commodity price exposure; support rolling forecast reconciliation (e.g., 6+6, 3+9) across programs

Program & Systems Execution

Place purchase orders (via QAD EE) with suppliers

Work closely with Engineering to understand program requirements and coordinate Engineering Changes

Participate in program kickoff meetings; work with Sales, Engineering, CSP plant personnel, and suppliers to ensure duties and timelines are met; expedite as necessary

Participate in development of new or enhanced Purchasing policies and procedures

Ensure customer requirements are met throughout the sourcing and program lifecycle

Perform a variety of complex tasks with a wide degree of independence and decision-making latitude

Adhere to all CSP company policies, guidelines, and procedures

Qualifications:
