About the Role:
To ensure timely, cost-effective, and quality procurement of transformer components required for
production — balancing delivery commitments, supplier performance, and cost optimization.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Management
• Develop and implement sourcing strategies for key transformer materials — core steel,
copper conductors, insulation materials, bushings, tap changers, oil, and hardware.
• Identify, evaluate, and onboard global and domestic suppliers for critical components.
• Negotiate long-term price agreements, lead time commitments, and performance clauses.
• Build alternate vendor base to de-risk supply chain.
2. Procurement Operations
• Convert approved BOMs into purchase orders based on project schedules.
• Track order status, manage delays, and ensure material availability aligns with production
plan.
• Coordinate with planning and engineering to prioritize and expedite critical items.
• Maintain ERP/MRP accuracy for lead times, min-max levels, and procurement costs.
3. Cost & Commercial Management
• Drive cost reduction through volume leverage, value engineering, and global sourcing.
• Benchmark prices periodically to maintain competitiveness.
• Analyze landed cost impacts for imported components (freight, duties, logistics).
• Ensure timely vendor payments, credit terms optimization, and budget adherence.
4. Quality & Compliance
• Develop vendor scorecards for delivery reliability, quality, and cost competitiveness.
• Work closely with Quality and Engineering teams to ensure supplier compliance with
IEEE/ANSI and internal standards.
• Drive vendor audits and material inspection protocols.
• Ensure REACH/RoHS/environmental and safety compliance for materials.
Skills & Attributes:
• Strong understanding of transformer materials and sub-vendor ecosystem (core, winding,
insulation, bushings, oil, etc.).
• Technical-commercial acumen — ability to read drawings, specifications, and BOMs.
• Supplier negotiation and contract management skills.
• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems and data-driven decision making.
• Strong follow-up, communication, and analytical ability.
• Strategic mindset with hands-on operational execution.
Qualifications
• Education: B.E/B.Tech in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering. MBA preferred.
• Experience: 8–15 years in transformer or heavy electrical equipment procurement.
• Experience in sourcing from both domestic and international suppliers.
• Prior experience with transformer component vendors is highly desirable.
Work Environment:
• Preferred Base: Hyderabad, Prayagraj
• Regular travel to manufacturing sites (Hyderabad and across India) & ports.
• Flat organizational structure that fosters transparency, collaboration, innovation, and cross-
functional teamwork.
