Student Worker Procurement

Climate change is real and we need to act fast. Our purpose is to restore the carbon balance in our atmosphere. We believe it’s important to have a positive impact on society, the economy, and the climate. Are you ready to join us on our mission? 🌎

Role
Currently, our Engineering Team is putting in their blood, sweat, and tears to build the next prototypes. While the team is currently heavily working on the design, soon modules, sub-modules and parts (basically the entire Bill of Materials: BOM), soon everything needs to be ordered and logistically distributed to the production location where the actual prototypes will be integrated.  

 
And that’s where you as a Student Worker Procurement come in! As we (will) collaborate with plenty of suppliers & partners – all delivering different modules, sub-modules or components – it’s important that all these purchases are done structurally, accurately and – most important – timely. Overseeing and organizing the timely delivery is super critical. 

Responsibilities
The role description above gives you some idea of the context you’ll operate in and the focus you’ll have as a Student Worker Procurement. Below a more concise overview of your responsibilities can be found; 

Purchase order management  

• Making sure you swiftly convert purchase requests coming from your internal stakeholders, into purchase orders. Collect (missing) information from stakeholders and negotiate with suppliers the best delivery date.  

Supplier coordination 

• The ideal world doesn’t exist. Therefore, you’ll regularly chase suppliers & partners proactively to ensure timely delivery. 

• Resolve order discrepancies, such as incorrect quantities, pricing errors or damaged goods to ensure a smooth procurement process. 

Status monitoring and reporting 

• Maintaining a birds-eye overview of the overall-status of all the ongoing purchases, including key milestones, delivery timelines and potential risks.  

• Communicate effectively the overview with stakeholders (e.g. System Architect & Project Manager) about procurement status. 

Continuously improve  

• Optimize the purchase process you’re owning by implementing quick wins, sharing suggestions and such (improving 1% every day).
