Technical Buyer - League City, United States - Ineos Group Ltd
Description
Company:INEOS Oxide
Interested in joining a winning team? A team whose employees share in the ownership of the business and are empowered to make a difference?
Organizational context
and job purpose
**This role is 100% on-site at our Marina View Corporate offices in League City, TX.
INEOS Organization:
INEOS is a global manufacturer of petrochemicals, specialty chemicals and oil products. It comprises 15 businesses each with a major chemical company heritage. Its production network spans 65 manufacturing facilities in 16 countries throughout the world. INEOS products make a significant contribution to saving life, improving health and enhancing standards of living for people around the world. Its businesses produce the raw materials that are essential in the manufacture of a wide variety of goods: from paints to plastics, textiles to technology, and medicines to mobile phones - chemicals manufactured by INEOS enhance almost every aspect of modern life.
Business Context:
INEOS Oxide is one of the most diverse, dynamic and successful businesses within INEOS. We operate 4 manufacturing sites in Europe and North America (Antwerp BE, Kln DE, Lavra FR, Plaquemine US) and are in the process of acquiring a new one in Bayport (TX), US. We produce a broad range of 200+ products which spread across five key value chains (Ethylene Oxide, Propylene Oxide, Oxoalcohols, Acetic Acid, and ENB), and on many of our products we are the European market leader. Our total manufacturing capacity is above 3 million tonnes per annum generating an annual EBITDA of ~300 M€. INEOS Oxide is an energetic business which is growing actively on a global level, with projects to extend our production base to new sites in North America and Asia in addition to continued investment on our existing platforms. We are committed to resourcing the Procurement team accordingly to deliver on this ambitious growth agenda.
Purpose of the Job:
The Technical Buyer is a member of the INEOS Oxide US Procurement team and will lead all materials acquisition technical procurement activities for the Bayport (TX) site. The Technical Buyer will ensure that the Bayport site has the correct materials available to meet the site production plans and CAPEX portfolio focusing on safety and optimal value. The incumbent will provide warehouse team management.
The key objectives of the role fall into two broad categories:
The position requires a detailed understanding of contract law and what value the terms and conditions hold in a contract negotiation. These legal concepts include seller indemnifications, limitations of liability, warranties and guarantees (length and monetary value) and legal remedies.
In addition to having a base of technical knowledge skills, the Technical Buyer must have a broad base of interpersonal skills that leads a diverse group of technical and managerial personnel through a complex decision making process as strategic sourcing decisions are made.
Job performance and delivery in this role is defined by the successful negotiation of major materials acquisition for maintenance/repair & operation. This is not only measured by lowest total overall cost but includes the successful negotiation of favorable contract terms and conditions that provide more than adequate protection for the assets of INEOS including indemnities, liabilities, warranties, guarantees and remedies. Managing robust and rigorous bidding processes is essential to this role's success.
Internal Factors:
Executing this role's wide-ranging remit at both a tactical and strategic level will require the post-holder to interface directly with, and influence, the organization far beyond the immediate Bayport procurement team.
Executing this role effectively will require a similarly wide-ranging engagement with parties in the external market:
Role Dimensions:
Level of Education & Experience in general
•Experience of leading teams in a diverse working environment.
While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to sit and perform tasks requiring repetitive use of hands. The employee must occasionally walk, stand and travel by car, airplane or other means.
