Vacant job

Here you contribute to the construction of surface combatants and submarines for the Swedish Armed Forces – a role where your attention to detail and technical understanding are crucial for the projects' procurement to function. The position is a consultancy assignment via Framtiden, located in Karlskrona. About the role As a Technical Procurement Assistant, you operate at the interface between buyers and technical handlers, focusing on analyzing technical data and maintaining article data in the systems. You primarily support buyers in selecting the right materials and contribute knowledge about suppliers' ability to produce and deliver against the combined requirements – materials that ultimately become parts of advanced marine defense systems. One of the main tasks is to create new procurement articles with the correct information in the material catalog, so that they become purchasable. You work closely with project managers, designers, and buyers, contributing technical competence as support when questions from suppliers arise. Summary of duties:

• Create new procurement articles in the material catalog and ensure mandatory attributes are registered so that the articles become purchasable
• Create purchase requisitions based on needs in the system or other material-driven documents, and consolidate purchases in a cost-effective manner
• Procure equipment for projects where deliveries take place over a longer period (forecast purchasing)
• Assist buyers and other functions with technical competence, including when questions from suppliers arise

We are looking for you who have a genuine technical interest and enjoy working at a detailed level. You handle a high workload with a good ability to plan your own work, and have high social competence – the role involves collaboration with many people and functions, so willingness to collaborate, a service mindset, and attention to detail are crucial. Great importance is placed on your personal suitability; you may have a broad background and still do a very good job in the role. We are looking for you who have

• Relevant University/Civil Engineer education in economics, procurement, e.g., Industrial Economics
• At least 1 year of relevant work experience
• Unrestricted Swedish and English in speech and writing
• Good knowledge of Office programs
• Opportunity to undergo and pass a security clearance prior to employment, which may entail requirements for certain citizenship
