  • Ensure all project documentation (contracts, POs, technical specs) is meticulously filed and easily retrievable.

Procurement & Vendor Liaison

  • Facilitate the procurement process by preparing Request for Quotations (RFQs) and processing Purchase Orders.
  • Act as a primary point of contact for suppliers to ensure on-time delivery.
  • Verify invoices against delivered goods and services before payment processing.

People & Stakeholder Coordination

  • Follow up on action items from project meetings to ensure deadlines are met.
  • Manage scheduling and reporting for various field teams.
