Job description

Position title : Technical Purchaser / Senior Buyer - R&D & Semiconductor Equipment

Location: Admiralty

Working Days: 5 Day A Week

Working hours : 9:00am - 6:00pm

Salary : SGD 4,500 - SGD 6,000/month (Based on experience and technical capability).

Responsibilities

1. Support design and prototype development Work with designers from the early design stage to identify purchasing requirements, sourcing risks and long lead-time components. Review BOMs with engineers and track items awaiting specifications, drawing release, quotation or purchase approval. Coordinate purchasing priorities with module owners and assembly teams so that parts arrive in the sequence needed for each build. Respond promptly to design changes and manage their impact on open orders, delivery dates and costs.
2. Resolve difficult sourcing situations Proactively source mechanical, electrical, motion control, pneumatic, vacuum and other equipment components, together with custom fabricated parts. Identify alternatives when specified parts have excessive lead times, become obsolete, are unavailable or cannot meet project requirements. Present engineers with practical options, including available stock, alternative brands or models, local fabrication and expedited delivery. Obtain engineering approval for all technical substitutions before committing purchases. Develop a reliable supplier network for low-volume orders, urgent requirements and prototype fabrication.
3. Own supplier follow-up and delivery Obtain quotations, clarify specifications, negotiate commercial terms and issue purchase orders promptly within company procedures. Secure supplier order acknowledgements and confirmed delivery dates; distinguish committed dates from indicative lead times. Follow up actively on outstanding orders and verify progress on critical items. Arrange partial deliveries, priority production or alternative shipping where these can help the build schedule. Escalate risks early with clear options, recommended action and the decision required.
4. Maintain purchasing visibility and control Maintain an accurate tracker covering part number and revision, supplier, PO status, promised delivery, outstanding quantity and current risk. Provide a concise critical-parts update showing what could delay each module and the action being taken. Ensure suppliers receive the correct drawings and revisions; manage order amendments, cancellations and obsolete stock exposure following design changes. Coordinate with receiving, quality and engineering teams to resolve incorrect, damaged or nonconforming deliveries.
