Responsibilities

• Support end-to-end sourcing and procurement for both O&M and SI business lines, including materials, spare parts, equipment, and subcontracted/EPC-related services (e.g., PLC, HMI, MCC, cabling, instrumentation).
• Manage the RFQ/RFP process: prepare RFQs/RFPs for qualified suppliers, maintain bid schedules aligned with project timelines, coordinate RFI responses, and evaluate proposals against historical and market pricing to identify cost-saving opportunities.

• Support vendor and OEM partnership agreements (e.g., preferred pricing/technical support arrangements) and maintain the approved vendor list.
• Identify, qualify, and onboard new vendors; monitor supplier compliance with contract terms and project requirements.
• Evaluate supplier performance (cost, quality, on-time delivery) and support improvement actions based on lessons learned.

• Partner with field teams to forecast site-level material/parts needs and support inventory and warehouse coordination.

• Build, maintain, and continuously update a management-level AR/AP dashboard for executive reporting (aging, exceptions, unbilled/uncollected items).
• Partner with field teams to validate the underlying data behind AR/AP entries (e.g., Work Order status, billing basis) and resolve discrepancies.
• Serve as a liaison between Business Operations and Finance to ensure a smooth, accurate handoff for formal bookkeeping.
• Flag AR/AP items with cash-flow impact (overdue receivables, unbilled work, disputed invoices) and escalate to management as needed.
• Prepare periodic AR/AP summaries and presentations for U.S. and Korea HQ leadership.
• Support ad hoc business operations initiatives and process improvement projects.
