  Relocate to the Great Lakes Region — Lakeshore Living, Small-Town Roots, and Room to Grow

Whether you land in West Michigan's Lakeshore or Northwest Indiana, both plants sit along the shores of Lake Michigan, offering beaches, small-town affordability, and an easy drive to bigger cities (Grand Rapids or Chicago) when you want them. It's a rare combination: a lower cost of living, room to breathe, and room to grow.

Responsibilities

The Segment Project Procurement Specialist will report to the Regional Procurement Lead for the Metal Castings division, North America, and provide procurement and project management support to multiple manufacturing plants within the division, including sites outside North America, to ensure business unit goals are met through the execution of procurement strategies. Procurement strategies include, but are not limited to, security of supply, cost savings, process optimization, and supplier risk mitigation.

This is a highly visible, business-facing role. The person in this seat is expected to think beyond transactional procurement and understand the downstream impact of sourcing and contracting decisions on plant operations, cost structure, and business unit performance.

  • Collaborate with Legal, Finance, and other stakeholders to ensure compliance with company contract procedures before issuance.
  • Monitor contract performance to ensure requirements are being met and provide risk mitigation actions as necessary.
• Project Management
  • Lead capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects, including sourcing and procurement of capital equipment, machinery, and building materials, from proposal review through contract execution.
  • Lead and support outsourcing and outplant work initiatives, cost reduction efforts, supplier growth strategies, and supplier onboarding.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders to define project timelines, manage deliverables, and provide action plans to eliminate project delays.
• Process Control and Compliance
  • Identify inefficiencies in procurement processes across the division and implement solutions to reduce process waste, improve cost effectiveness, and maintain a high level of compliance with procurement and financial procedures.
• Multi-Site Support
  • Provide direct support to plants across the division to resolve procurement operational challenges and ensure a consistent, high level of execution.
  • At times, provide backup executional support to plants, including but not limited to issuance of RFQs, placement of purchase orders, reconciliation of invoices, and other administrative tasks as needed.
