About the Role: To ensure timely, cost-effective, and quality procurement of transformer components required for production — balancing delivery commitments, supplier performance, and cost optimization. Key Responsibilities: 1. Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Management • Develop and implement sourcing strategies for key transformer materials — core steel, copper conductors, insulation materials, bushings, tap changers, oil, and hardware.
• Identify, evaluate, and onboard global and domestic suppliers for critical components. • Negotiate long-term price agreements, lead time commitments, and performance clauses. • Build alternate vendor base to de-risk supply chain. 2. Procurement Operations • Convert approved BOMs into purchase orders based on project schedules. • Track order status, manage delays, and ensure material availability aligns with production plan.
• Coordinate with planning and engineering to prioritize and expedite critical items. • Maintain ERP/MRP accuracy for lead times, min-max levels, and procurement costs. 3. Cost & Commercial Management • Drive cost reduction through volume leverage, value engineering, and global sourcing. • Benchmark prices periodically to maintain competitiveness. • Analyze landed cost impacts for imported components (freight, duties, logistics).
• Ensure timely vendor payments, credit terms optimization, and budget adherence. 4. Quality & Compliance • Develop vendor scorecards for delivery reliability, quality, and cost competitiveness. • Work closely with Quality and Engineering teams to ensure supplier compliance with IEEE/ANSI and internal standards. • Drive vendor audits and material inspection protocols. • Ensure REACH/RoHS/environmental and safety compliance for materials.
Skills & Attributes: • Strong understanding of transformer materials and sub-vendor ecosystem (core, winding, insulation, bushings, oil, etc.). • Technical-commercial acumen — ability to read drawings, specifications, and BOMs. • Supplier negotiation and contract management skills. • Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems and data-driven decision making. • Strong follow-up, communication, and analytical ability.
• Strategic mindset with hands-on operational execution. Qualifications • Education: B.E/B.Tech in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering.
