Job description

You know procurement is more than pushing purchase orders.

In this role, you'll have a seat between the business, suppliers, and the supply chain team-figuring out what the operation actually needs, negotiating the right deal, and making sure the material or service shows up when it's supposed to.

What you'll do

• Own RFQs and bids from gathering requirements through supplier evaluation and purchase order placement.
• Negotiate pricing, terms, delivery, and contracts with suppliers.
• Work with business teams and generating facilities to understand technical, cost, and delivery requirements.
• Analyze spend, supplier performance, inventory, and market information to find better ways to buy.
• Build relationships with suppliers and hold them accountable to performance expectations.
• Resolve delivery, quality, claims, and accounts-payable issues when things don't go according to plan.
• Partner with strategic sourcing and cross-functional teams to improve purchasing decisions and capture savings.

What you get

This is a $46-$48/hour opportunity within an operational procurement center supporting an energy business. The role is work-from-home, with periodic travel to Texas generating facilities as needed.

You'll have room to work independently while still being connected to a team that handles real sourcing decisions-not simply transactional purchasing. If you've been wanting to move further into supplier strategy, negotiation, spend management, and category-level thinking, this gives you that runway.

Who you are

You've spent 3-5 years in sourcing or procurement and know how to do more than process a PO. You can look at a quote and ask the next question. You know how to negotiate with suppliers, analyze the numbers, work through competing priorities, and make a fact-based recommendation.

You'll need 1+ year of SAP experience and genuine sourcing responsibility. Power generation, energy, industrial, or MRO procurement experience will give you useful context.
