4. Issue Request for Quotations (RFQs) and coordinate technical + commercial evaluations (TBE/CBE).
5. Finalize and issue Purchase Orders (POs) based on approved TBE/CBE results.
6. Incorporate necessary project-specific clauses (INCOTERMS, delivery schedules, inspection requirements).
7. Negotiate terms including pricing, delivery, liquidated damages, and warranties.
8. Act as point of contact for assigned mechanical package vendors.
9. Monitor manufacturing schedules to ensure timely progress per milestones.
10. Coordinate with Expeditors, QA/QC, and Logistics for inspections, FATs, packing, and shipment.
11. Ensure timely submission of vendor documents (drawings, calculations, QAP, ITP, O&M manuals).
12. Review vendor submittals in coordination with Engineering and QA/QC teams.
13. Manage and track document revisions and approvals in document control system.
14. Coordinate with QA/QC and third-party inspectors for inspection scheduling (e.g., witness points, hold points).
15. Ensure compliance with ITP and relevant codes/standards during FATs.
16. Manage punch list resolution before shipping.
17. Support construction and commissioning by ensuring equipment is delivered with complete documentation.
18. Resolve any vendor-related issues during installation/start-up.
19. Ensure final vendor documentation is compiled for turnover (as-built, certifications, spares, etc.).
