As a Purchasing Officer with a Master of Business Administration in Project Management and a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, I have a unique combination of skills and knowledge that enable me to handle complex and challenging procurement tasks. I am interested and aiming to add value to the company by acquiring new skill sets and applying my expertise to achieve optimal results.In my most recent role at Epworth, I negotiated policies and contracts with vendors to ensure consistent availability and optimal pricing of products and services. I also sourced vendors, built relationships, and monitored and reviewed their performance to ensure compliance with contractual agreements. I identified and resolved supply chain issues to mitigate delays and disruptions, and maintained and updated records and reports of procurement activities and cost savings. I contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement function by applying my problem-solving, teamwork, and purchase management skills.
