We are a global organization that conducts procurement operations in numerous countries.
Our staff is segmented into experienced specialists for contracting, procuring and materials management. Most people are dedicated to direct support of our projects, while others play a more indirect role by providing functional services to our projects. Each project has its own commercial team responsible for obtaining the correct materials and services, validating capabilities of prospective suppliers, managing the bid cycle, ensuring that a fair evaluation of each responsive bidder is conducted prior to award and monitoring safety, quality and schedule. This team consists of several specific disciplines, including subcontracts, purchasing, expediting, supplier quality, traffic and logistic, and jobsite inventory and material control.
Supplier quality
Frequent communication and regular visits to our suppliers’ facilities is common practice. It reinforces our proactive approach to resolve potential issues, which helps suppliers deliver consistent value to the customer in a timely manner. To verify compliance with purchase order requirements and specifications, supplier quality surveillance is performed in accordance with approved quality surveillance plans. Sound knowledge of industry codes and standards is applied so that any non-conforming quality or manufacturing issues are identified before they have a chance to affect the project.
