The role of Material Management and Procurement (MMP) is to manage the material deliveries and purchasing, within established project budget, scope and schedule. A Material Manager acts as primary interface between the Konecranes project team and material suppliers (internal and external) for project related materials. Material Managers have the responsibility of taking inputs from Project Management (Schedule and budget) as well as engineering (technical specifications and material requirements / BOM’s) and converting the requisitions into tangible Purchase Orders. They also negotiate with suppliers and vendors as needed and ensure the correct materials are delivered to the needed locations as planned by the Project. The Material Manager operates as a critical junction on a project team to ensure a successful on-time and on-budget project. Material Manager function is an integral part of the project team and has a continuous responsibility to communicate project Material status to management. Our ability to execute projects is heavily influenced by material availability. Our sustainability and competitiveness strongly rely on the ability to track costs and keep or fall below the budgets. It is critical open dialog occurs between Material Management, Engineering, Project Management and Production to solve any issues and provide feedback.
The Material Manager role is similar to a Project Engineer with the added responsibilities of sourcing and procurement. The position is a natural stepping stone into Project Management.
