Do you have a deep understanding of metal fabrication, strong commercial instincts, and a passion for heavy machinery?
Our client is a global authority in designing and manufacturing specialized, heavy-duty vehicles (5 to 40 tons) built for extreme mobility and defense applications.

Elevate Supplier Performance: Partner with Supplier Quality Management (SQM) to conduct audits, evaluate performance, and ensure top-tier deliverability.
Bridge Engineering & Purchasing: Act as the strategic procurement interface for R&D during New Product Development (NPD), translating technical blueprints into optimized commercial terms.

Strategic Track Record: Proven experience in strategic purchasing (going well beyond operational ordering).
Metal Expertise: Practical experience sourcing sheet metal fabrication (Blechbearbeitung), metals, and complex mechanical assemblies.
Software: Daily proficiency in SAP ERP and MS Office.
Languages: Business Fluent German (C1?C2) and Fluent English (B2?C1) (written and spoken).
