Category Purchaser

We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family.

In recent years, our procurement organization has evolved from a project-based to a category-based structure. The next phase focuses on further strengthening and maturing our supply chain. In this role, you manage the day-to-day purchasing activities for a dedicated group of suppliers and closely monitor performance through KPIs such as on-time delivery, completeness of part data, and quality non-conformities. In close alignment with Category Management and our suppliers, you ensure contracts and pricing remain accurate and up to date, while continuously identifying opportunities to optimize total cost of ownership.

You take ownership of placing purchase orders yourself where required, while also coordinating and delegating purchasing activities with operational buyers within our team and at our international shipyards. In addition, you actively contribute to supplier development and process improvement initiatives. Therefore, collaboration is key: you work closely with colleagues from Material Planning, Category Management, and other stakeholders to ensure a reliable, efficient, and high-quality supply chain.
