Procurement Manager

Eigen Energy is a systems integrator for solar energy and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Our technical competencies span engineering and construction, energy management, software engineering, and cross-platform integration. We're looking for a Procurement Executive who can do more than run a purchasing desk — someone who can design, build, and continuously improve the processes that keep our procurement and supply chain running smoothly. Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, you'll own both the day-to-day purchasing function and the systems and workflows behind it, helping us scale as the business grows. What you'll do: • Plan procurement around the project pipeline — know what to buy, when to commit, when to hold — and centralise buying to capture bulk savings without over-stocking • Build a material consumption model (usage per MWh across solar, EV charging, and battery storage) and use it to get ahead of demand • Track total landed costs and work with Finance to code purchases to projects • Source and negotiate with local and overseas suppliers for the best terms — no single point of failure on anything critical • Assess quotes on more than price; understand the tech, from solar modules and inverters to EV chargers and BESS components • Run day-to-day purchasing (POs, deliveries, chasing late suppliers), resolve supply and invoice issues, and own the annual ISO vendor review • Keep stock lean — JIT where possible, safety stock only where it earns its place — and clear slow-moving or obsolete stock before it's a write-off • Track materials at project level (used, on hand, committed) and give the team live visibility on stock levels, reorder points, and consumption rates • Handle warehouse accounting and regular audits • Document how procurement works — sourcing to PO to delivery to invoice — and make it stick • Spot what's broken and fix it • Own the procurement section of our ISO system: write SOPs, keep them current, stay audit-ready What you'll need: • A Diploma in Supply Chain or a related field • A process-oriented mindset — you naturally look for better, cleaner ways of doing things and can turn them into repeatable systems • A responsible, self-driven approach with strong multitasking ability • A working understanding of goods receiving, sales, purchasing, quotation, and inventory procedures • Confidence with Excel, ERP systems, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central • Clear verbal and written communication skills Nice to have: • 5+ years of experience in supply chain or logistics, ideally with exposure to process design or improvement • Experience working in a construction company • Familiarity with process-improvement methodologies (e.g. Lean, Six Sigma, or similar) • Strong analytical and project-management skills
