• Coordinate with engineering or project teams to clarify material and service requirements.
• Request quotations and compare technical compliance, cost, lead time and commercial details.
• Support purchase orders, supplier follow-up and tracking of delivery commitments.
• Maintain organized records and flag discrepancies or risks affecting technical suitability or schedule.
