three MRO Associates

• Engage directly with strategic vendors and OEMs for pricing, availability, and long-term supply alignment. 
• Lead competitive quoting exercises to secure best-in-market costs. 

Advanced Quote Analysis & Pricing

• Perform cost bench-marking and trend analysis across vendors and commodities. 
• Validate vendor quotes for accuracy, terms, and alignment with internal margin targets. 
• Review and approve quote conversions prepared by junior associates before customer submission. 
• Recommend margin adjustments or pricing strategies to maintain competitiveness without eroding profitability. 

Order Execution & Vendor Coordination

• Track order acknowledgements, proactively mitigate delays, and manage escalations with vendors. 
• Ensure accurate communication of delivery schedules and shipment tracking updates to internal teams and customers. 
• Coordinate with logistics for urgent shipments, export/import documentation, or multi-line order consolidations. 

Process & Team Leadership

• Support the MRO Team Lead in training and mentoring new associates on sourcing processes and vendor communication standards. 
• Identify recurring vendor or system bottlenecks and propose workflow improvements. 
• Maintain supplier scorecards to evaluate response rate, pricing competitiveness, and delivery reliability. 
• Act as a first point of escalation for delayed quotes, pricing mismatches, or vendor disputes.

Must-Have

• 3–5 years of experience in MRO sourcing, industrial distribution, or supply chain management. 
• Excellent written and spoken English; confident communicator with vendors and internal stakeholders. 
• Strong analytical skills for comparing quotes, identifying trends, and evaluating margin impacts. 
• Proficiency in Excel, ERP systems (e.g., Juno Edge), and data tracking tools.
