Assistant Manager - Procurement

Job Title: Assistant Manager – Procurement

Location: Rasulgarh, Bhubaneswar

Experience: 2–4 Years (Solar industry experience preferred, but not mandatory for fast learners with grit)

Salary Range: ₹20,000 – ₹25,000 per month + incentives

Employment Type: Full-time

Why This Role is Critical

Every rupee saved in procurement is a rupee added to our project margins. In a highly competitive solar EPC market—especially for government and private tenders—the difference between winning or losing a project often boils down to how sharply we’ve negotiated and how efficiently we’ve sourced.

You will not be just another backend person pushing POs. You will be the nerve center of cost intelligence for WhiteShark Energy. Your work will directly influence our ability to bid better, win faster, and deliver smarter.

What You’ll Own

BoM-Wise Project Costing

• Build project-wise cost sheets based on engineering designs and bills of materials.
• Maintain a dynamic pricing dashboard—updated daily—for all frequently used items.
• Feed real-time rates into the bidding process for razor-sharp pricing.

Vendor Mapping & Sourcing

• Create and maintain a master database of reliable vendors—item-wise, region-wise, and category-wise.
• Explore procurement not just locally, but across India and internationally (as we scale imports).
• Understand freight, lead time, and logistics implications.

Negotiation & Cost Control

• Negotiate rates with suppliers project-wise and batch-wise to get best-in-market deals.

Collaboration & Accountability

• Keep a sharp eye on changing market trends, price fluctuations, and upcoming technologies.
• Raise flags early when pricing volatility threatens profitability.
