• Gathering data from multiple sources (e.g., contractors, owners, industry analysts) to assess BASF versus 'best-in-class' industry benchmarks, monitoring Procurement performance against milestones, and providing periodic reports to management.

• Supervising contract personnel in the issuing of bid packages, participating in bid walks, preparing commercial evaluations, executing final contracts, and issuing purchase orders.

If you...

• Hold a bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Marketing, Supply Chain, Accounting, Construction Management or a related field. An advanced degree in any of these fields would be considered a plus.
