Walk-in | Purchase Manager

Neometrix Defence; Sector 10; On-site; INR 900,000 - 1,800,000; Full time

Job summary

Neometrix Defence in India seeks a Purchase Manager to own end-to-end procurement for engineered-to-order defence machines. You will bridge design and vendor bases, sourcing to fresh BoMs against tender deadlines and ensuring compliance and delivery on time.

The role covers sourcing, vendor development, bid support for tender BoMs, and purchase execution with tight coordination across design, production, stores and accounts. Defence/PSU exposure is a plus, and B.Tech is preferred.

Qualifications

• Graduate — mandatory; B.Tech preferred.
• 1–5 years in capital-equipment, machine-building, fabrication or engineering procurement.
• Component-level technical literacy: read a BoM and know what you're buying.
• Comfortable reading engineering drawings and technical specifications.
• Working knowledge of Excel and ERP/Tally-based purchase entry.
• Negotiation ability, follow-up discipline, and the temperament to chase a vendor five times without losing the relationship.
• Defence / PSU exposure a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Source mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical components against project BoMs with hard delivery dates.
• Float enquiries, run comparative statements, and shortlist on the basis of technical compliance, delivery and price.
• Develop and manage the vendor base: fabrication and machining subcontractors, sheet-metal and job shops, component distributors, authorised dealers and stockists.
• Identify and onboard new vendors — capability assessment, sample/trial orders, commercial terms, credit terms.
• Maintain approved-vendor lists and rate contracts for repeat items, so recurring buys stop consuming project time.
• Convert requisitions into POs with accurate technical descriptions, delivery schedules and commercial terms.
• Track purchase-to-delivery on every project line — expediting, pre-dispatch inspection coordination, transport follow-up, GRN closure.
• Chase and resolve short supply, rejections, replacements and rework with vendors.
• Coordinate daily with design, production, stores and accounts — from BoM release to vendor payment.
• Maintain purchase records, comparative statements and approvals audit-ready (DGAQA / ISO 9001 environment).
• Negotiate hard on price, payment terms and delivery — and document every commitment in writing.

Job description

POSITION 1 PURCHASE MANAGER (Ref: NDL-P01)

Own end-to-end procurement for engineered-to-order defence machines. Every build is custom, so this is not catalogue re-ordering it's sourcing to a fresh BoM against a tender deadline, every time. You sit between our design team and our vendor base, and the difference between a project delivered on time and a delayed one usually runs through this desk.

Sourcing & vendor development

• Source mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical components — pumps, valves, cylinders, actuators, motors, gearboxes, bearings, PLCs, sensors, transducers and instrumentation — against project BoMs with hard delivery dates
• Float enquiries, run comparative statements, and shortlist on the basis of technical compliance, delivery and price — not price alone; a non-compliant cheap part costs us the project
• Develop and manage the vendor base: fabrication and machining subcontractors, sheet-metal and job shops, component distributors, authorised dealers and stockists
• Identify and onboard new vendors — capability assessment, sample/trial orders, commercial terms, credit terms
• Maintain approved-vendor lists and rate contracts for repeat items, so recurring buys stop consuming project time

Costing & tender support

• Support bid costing: convert design BoMs into firm vendor quotes for tender BoQs, where your negotiation directly decides whether we win
• Turn budgetary quotes around fast during bid preparation — tender deadlines do not move
• Track price trends on key commodities and bought-outs so our costing stays realistic
• Flag long-lead items at bid stage, before they become delivery problems

Purchase execution & tracking

• Convert requisitions into POs with accurate technical descriptions, delivery schedules and commercial terms
• Track purchase-to-delivery on every project line — expediting, pre-dispatch inspection coordination, transport follow-up, GRN closure
• Chase and resolve short supply, rejections, replacements and rework with vendors
• Coordinate daily with design, production, stores and accounts — from BoM release to vendor payment
• Maintain purchase records, comparative statements and approvals audit-ready (DGAQA / ISO 9001 environment)

Commercial

• Negotiate hard on price, payment terms and delivery — and document every commitment in writing
• Manage vendor payment follow-ups with accounts, keeping supply lines healthy
• Handle GST-compliant documentation and coordinate on statutory paperwork with the accounts team

Requirements

• Graduate — mandatory. B.Tech preferred
• 1–5 years in capital-equipment, machine-building, fabrication or engineering procurement
• Component-level technical literacy: you should read a BoM and know what you're buying
• Comfortable reading engineering drawings and technical specifications
• Working knowledge of Excel and ERP/Tally-based purchase entry
• Negotiation ability, follow-up discipline, and the temperament to chase a vendor five times without losing the relationship
• Defence / PSU exposure a strong plus

What you get:

ownership of the full procurement function in a growing 100+ crore defence manufacturer — not a slot in a large purchase department. You'll see components you sourced become machines that go to DRDO labs and airbases.
