We are looking for an experienced and commercially strong Procurement Manager who will take full responsibility for the company’s procurement function and report directly to the Directors.
The successful candidate must have strong construction-procurement experience, practical knowledge of construction materials and an established understanding of the Bali supplier market.
This is not a basic purchasing or administrative position. The Procurement Manager must actively source suppliers, compare quotations, negotiate improved commercial terms and ensure every approved order is placed correctly and delivered on time.

Maintain and continuously expand a reliable network of construction-material suppliers in Bali.
Develop additional supplier, distributor, manufacturer and importer options across Indonesia.
Arrange regular meetings with existing and potential suppliers.
Maintain an organised supplier database containing contact details, product categories, pricing, commercial terms and performance history.
Evaluate new suppliers based on pricing, quality, reliability, capacity, lead times, warranties and commercial terms.
Avoid unnecessary dependence on a singl supplier or limited supplier group.
Obtain competitive quotations for every purchase whenever reasonably possible.
Never accept the first quotation without checking whether a better commercial arrangement is available.
Compare different suppliers for each item and change suppliers when another suitable supplier provides better overall value.
Use competing quotations to challenge prices and negotiate improved terms.
Negotiate discounts, credit terms, payment terms, delivery conditions, warranties and other commercial benefits.
Consider price together with specification compliance, quality, availability, delivery reliability and payment conditions.
Prepare clear quotation-comparison sheets showing all relevant commercial and delivery information.
Document any emergency, sole-source or singl-quotation purchase and obtain the required approval.
Review approved purchase requests and confirm that the required specifications, quantities and delivery dates are clear.
Verify that supplier quotations match the approved requirements before submitting a recommendation.
Prepare and issue purchase orders only after receiving the required internal approval.
Confirm that every purchase order contains the correct supplier, item, specification, quantity, price, terms and delivery information.
Maintain complete procurement records from purchase request through quotation, comparison, approval, order, delivery and closure.
Maintain current supplier price lists and historical purchasing information for frequently purchased materials.
Maintain procurement schedules and delivery trackers across all active projects.
Ensure all procurement activity follows company procedures and delegated authority limits.
Prevent unauthorised purchasing, informal supplier commitments and order splitting intended to avoid approval requirements.
Track every approved order from placement until complete delivery and closure.
Follow up persistently with suppliers and obtain reliable delivery confirmations.
Coordinate closely with project teams regarding required delivery dates and changing project priorities.
Identify potential procurement delays before they affect construction activities.
Escalate delayed, unavailable or high-risk orders to the Directors and relevant project team immediately.
Coordinate the resolution of shortages, incorrect quantities, damaged materials, rejected items, returns and warranty claims.
Confirm that delivery documentation is properly transferred to the Warehouse & Logistics Manager and Finance.
Coordinate with the Directors, project managers, site managers, estimators, warehouse and logistics team, finance and other authorised employees.
Manage multiple purchase requests and orders across several active construction projects.
Provide clear updates concerning quotation status, pending approvals, placed orders, delivery dates, delays and supplier issues.
Report significant price changes, commercial risks and supplier-performance problems.
Maintain accurate and current information within the company’s internal procurement and project-management applications.
Recommend suppliers based on documented commercial comparisons and procurement considerations.
Do not independently approve unbudgeted expenditure or purchases outside delegated authority.
Do not place orders without the required internal approval.
Do not change technical specifications without approval from the responsible technical team.
Do not accept substitute materials without the required technical approval.
Do not increase approved quantities, prices or commercial commitments without approval.
Do not approve supplier payments.
Do not make commitments to suppliers beyond the approved purchase order or delegated authority.
Support the Warehouse & Logistics Manager without taking over responsibility for physical receipt, storage, inventory or material issuance.
Support Finance with complete purchasing documents without taking over payment processing or financial accounting.
Maintain professional, transparent and ethical relationships with all suppliers.
Declare any actual or potential conflict of interest immediately.
Never request or accept undisclosed commissions, incentives, gifts, personal benefits or other advantages from suppliers.
Protect confidential company pricing, budgets and supplier information.
Report suspected fraud, collusion, price manipulation or other unethical supplier activity directly to the Directors.
Minimum 3 years of procurement experience specifically within the construction industry.
Minimum 1 year of construction-procurement experience working in Bali.
Practical knowledge of construction materials, supplier quotations, purchasing processes, lead times and delivery coordination.
Demonstrable experience sourcing suppliers and negotiating prices and commercial terms.
A working network of construction-material suppliers in Bali.
Experience preparing and controlling purchase requests, requests for quotation, quotation comparisons and purchase orders.
Experience maintaining procurement schedules, supplier databases, price lists and delivery trackers.
Experience managing multiple purchase requirements across active construction projects.

Opportunity to develop and improve the company’s supplier network and procurement systems.
Opportunity for increased responsibility based on demonstrated performance.
We are looking for a proactive, persistent and commercially minded Procurement Manager who takes personal responsibility for obtaining the best available deal for every approved purchase.
The right candidate will not obtain one quotation and immediately place an order. They will compare suppliers, challenge pricing, negotiate better terms and continue searching until they are satisfied that the company is receiving strong overall value.
This person must also be highly systematic. Every request, quotation, approval, order and delivery must be properly documented and actively tracked.
The successful candidate must be capable of working directly with the Directors, managing pressure from multiple projects and maintaining professional supplier relationships without compromising the company’s commercial interests or ethical standards.
