GE Vernova's Power Transmission Service business is responsible for after-sales support of our installed base of power transmission equipment, from erection and commissioning, through spare parts, maintenance, and repair, to major overhaul and extension projects. We are now looking for an experienced Sourcing/Procurement Specialist to join our team and take responsibility for managing our procurement process from source to pay for contractors and spare parts. Experience of the power transmission industry would be an advantage, but enthusiasm, drive, and a proven track record in a corporate procurement and sourcing environment are paramount.

Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
Key roles and responsibilities include:

  • Manage the buying process for spare parts, materials, and sub-contractors across Denmark.
  • Drive procurement activities on assigned commodities to deliver a competitive advantage within the Danish market and apply advanced sourcing and procurement best practices towards operational excellence.
  • Conduct RFQ's, negotiate pricing and contractual terms (T&Cs).
  • Issue purchase orders and actively support the full procure to-pay cycle.
  • Follow-up PO acknowledgement, delivery status and solve delivery problems and schedule changes.
  • Create, Implement, and Improve key performance metrics such as on-time delivery, savings against budget, year-over-year deflation, payment terms, cost of failure and delays.
  • Utilize Lean methodologies to improve proposal process.
  • Develop reports, analyse spend and apply sourcing and procurement methodologies to identify opportunities for cost-reduction and cash flows improvements.
  • Resolve contractual and supplier disputes where they occur, protecting the interests of the business and engaging legal Business Partners where required.
  • Develop a strong relationship with Project Management EHS, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Quality, and other internal and external stakeholders.
  • Lead and maintain meetings, reviews and communicate about project status.
  • Effectively collaborate with regional stakeholders and global sourcing members to interpret requirements, define, develop, and implement sourcing and procurement strategies to further enhance business performance and outcomes.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop knowledge of key business drivers, their customers, sales territory, product lines, markets and sales and tendering processes.

Most decisions fall within a defined framework, but within those guidelines the successful candidate will have a degree of autonomy in the final deal.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college in business, supply chain, related areas.
  • Minimum of 1 year experience in commercial sourcing, procurement, supplier management and contract negotiation
  • Desired Characteristics
  • Solid M/S office skills including excel formulas, v-look up and pivot table knowledge.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills as well as presentation and report preparation skills.
  • Excellent negotiation and analytical skills with the ability to build strong relationships with suppliers and stakeholders.
  • Ability to execute sourcing and procurement tasks across multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Ability to assess supplier technical capability, supplier capacity, and develop new suppliers.
  • Data analysis skills
  • Knowledge of SAP.
  • Ability to work with minimum supervision in the cross-cultural environment across different geographical areas.
  • Strong interpersonal and leadership skills with the ability to develop key internal and external relationships and influence at all levels.
  • Understanding of financials and P&L impact of sourcing decisions.
  • Fluency in English and Danish is a must.
  • A bachelor's degree in engineering is desirable but not necessary.

Desired Characteristics
The role will involve occasional travel within Denmark and overseas, and we are therefore looking for an individual who is able to work unsupervised, and to manage and prioritise their own workload.

Often working to tight deadlines, the successful candidate will be able to engage with and to influence diverse stakeholders across the business to ensure their deadlines are met.

As a service organisation, the availability of spare parts and components is vital to all areas of the business and the successful candidate should be able to develop relationships and influence across all functions.

Excellent oral and written communication skills are therefore necessary to develop an understanding of the business's needs, to clearly communicate GE's requirements to suppliers, and to ensure internal stakeholders are kept up to date with supplier delivery times, costs etc.

Benefits
In return GE offers a package including competitive salary, a flexible benefits package including private health insurance.

Working Arrangements
Flexible working arrangements including a mixture of home and office working are available, but it is anticipated that the extensive interactions necessary across multiple internal stakeholders will require the successful candidate to be in our Stafford offices on a regular basis. A typical work-week is therefore likely to include 2 or 3 days in our Kolding office.

Relocation Assistance Provided: No
